Improve input method for date fields #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The receipt object when adding or editing includes a field that requires a 
date to be entered.  Currently the field processes the input in a format 
that can be handled by the database (YYYY-MM-DD) and it not user friendly.

This input field should be broken up into three separate text or selection 
boxes or some other mean should be used to enhance the user experience.  
Javascript could be used to provide a calendar of options.  Regardless of 
the method chosen, the current method is simply unacceptable.

Additionally, if an invalid date is entered the processing of the query 
simply fails and returns the user to the budget page without providing any 
warning.  The validity of the data should be checked before the query is 
executed.  Alternatively, if the data is validated in the browser this is 
also acceptable.  In the case of malicious attempts to inject bad data, the 
query would simply fail.
