Datepicker in Safari no OK

same issue – I need this as a compulsory field – so this stuffs up completing the form.

OK – I see it is a HTML5 issue
The date picker is not supported in Firefox, Safari or I.E.11

While these browsers appear to fall-back to a text box (which would be OK) the form validation errors so the form can not be submitted if an attempt is made to enter a date manually – even if it is of the correct format – in my case DD/MM/YYYY

If Firefox, Safari and I.E.11 are not supported can you please adjust the form validation so a fall-back text box can work.

You could just validate it for 30 characters max would be enough – that would allow the fall-back textbox to have any variation of date the uses attempts

The date picker not working for Firefox, Safari and I.E.11 and the validation failing for the fall-back text field makes it too problematic to use.

I replaced it with a text field e.g.

<p>Preferred Date For Quote (required) <br />
[text* text-55 placeholder "DD/MM/YYYY"]
</p> 

Thanks a lot NightL, I will consider to use a text field ??

Some more info on this (I have not tested yet)
https://contactform7.com/date-field/
states the fall-back validates to YYYY-MM-DD. The placeholder text does not show for the fallback so that is why my attempts at dd/mm/yyyy failed

jquery option
https://contactform7.com/faq/does-contact-form-7-support-html5-input-types/
states there is also a jquery UI fallback which is turned off by default. You can add a filter in the functions.php to turn it on (details on linked page)

jquery fallback option works just fine

Tested in Firefox, IE11 and Safari on iPhone4

no discernible difference in load time
