Hi Andrew,
I can't reproduce the error (Firefox 3.6.6 and Safari 5.0 on Mac 10.6). When I first enter a wrong date for the birthday, the only field where a check is made against a correct date (that may have changed since you tried it), the error message displays. When I enter the correct date and save the form, it is saved correctly.
However, if I do not choose the date picker (and didn't check the help bubble), my date may be wrong if I enter it the American way (MM-DD-YYYY). The help says that one should enter the date as YYYY/MM/DD, but it also works when it is DD-MM-YYYY.
Would it be possible to show the string "YYYY/MM/DD" in the date field by default?
The date fields for employment, education etc. are not checked against a date (anymore). You can enter anything you want.
Kristina
