 * I am using the Date tag in Contact 7.
    <p>Date [date* date-format:dd_mm_yy date-
   182]</p>
 * This works fine from a mobile device, but from a desktop I dont seem to be able
   to get the right date format. I get ‘Validation errors occurred. Please confirm
   the fields and submit it again’ with a yellow border but no fields are highlighted
   as in error.
 * What format should be input from a desktop ?

 * If I use <p>Date
    [date* date-182]</p> instead then the date field shows up as
   invalid via the desktop but I cant find a valid date format to enter. From a 
   mobile device it works but the date is not displayed in the resultant email, 
   just the name of the date field (date-182)

 * The Datepicker is not a great interface on a mobile, works great for desktop.
 * But why doesnt the contact 7 date work on desktop ? Its great on mobile.

 * Hurrah found the answer on a similar post, posted minutes ago.
 * Date format should be YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2013-04-18).
