 * Hi,
 * Can someone help me as I need to change the date input and output of date function
   so that it is displayed in a UK style – DD-MM-YYYY instead of American MM-DD-
   YYYY style?
 * If both could be changed that would be amazing however if it was simply just 
   changing the output email style that would be great!
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated
 * Thanks
 * Sam

 * Refer [http://contactform7.com/date-field/](http://contactform7.com/date-field/)–
   DD-MM-YYYY format is clearly not supported.
 * The new CF7 date tag is a HTML5 date input type which currently has only limited
   cross-browser support. See [http://www.wufoo.com/html5/types/4-date.html](http://www.wufoo.com/html5/types/4-date.html)
   for the low down on this new HTML5 form element.
