Why is the value of eady day (month - 1)?

[sitefinitysteve]

December 18th has a data-value of 18-11-12 instead of 18-12-12, why is that?

kendo.parseDate also seems to not adjust for the 0 index...

Hello Steve,

We don't understand what you mean. Any example?

Sure,
  http://demos.kendoui.com/web/calendar/index.html

Inspect the data-value of any date in the calendar

<a title="Tuesday, October 16, 2012" data-value="2012/9/16" href="#" class="k-link">16</a>

Should be 2012/10/16 not 2012/9/16

So I was hoping your date helpers in kendo would adjust it back, but no?

Hello Steve,

 
The value of the data attribute:

data-value="2012/9/16"

is zero based. We split the value by "/" separator and create Date object from the values:

var value = link.attr(kendo.attr(VALUE)).split("/");

//Safari cannot create correct date from "1/1/2090"
value = new DATE(value[0], value[1], value[2]);

I believe that the comment in the code snippet is expressive enough.

The kendo.parseDate expects string value, which has non zero based month. The Date.parse method works in the same way. If you need to use data-value of the cell, then you can use the above code snippet.
