Is there a way to type in the month "May" when setting the PickerFormat as dd/MMM/yyyy? You can use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the months, but looking to type in the month. Datepicker lets you type "M" to get Mar, but cannot get May. Same thing for Jun or Jul, Datepicker selects Jan when a J is pressed, looking to type in "Jun". Any ideas?

Hi,

This is not supported now. What we can do is to add the code to let you to match the next letter if you type the next letter fast enough. For example, if you type "M" and then type "a" and "r" quickly, then it will match "Mar" and select "March". If you stop and wait for a while, then the buffer gets cleared and it will start all over again.

Thanks!

Hi,

We have posted a new build that supports this on FireFox too. You can download the new build from our download page. The new build also automatically advance to the next part if only one match is found. For example, if user type "D" then "Dec" will be selected and the DatePicker will automatically advance to the year part since there are no other month starts with "D".

Thanks!
