I have almost no knowledge of web programming, but I have been tasked to solve something on my company's website. Apparently, I have an issue with browsers using HTML5 on a legacy site using type="date" and I need to find a way around it.

My site has a lot of date fields that the user must input like such:

 <input type="date" name="DateStart" size="15" value="8/30/2011">

In every browser we currently use except Chrome, this works just fine. Chrome is the only browser that supplies rolling buttons to scroll through the date. What I see on the back end of this is an attempt to do this:

FormatDateTime(DateStart, 2)

I get an invalid date error which means that we cannot use Chrome to fill out this form. Is there a way around this problem?
