Why i can not set date iinput type date in ipad

Question

I am trying to set date in input type date using angular.js

js:

$scope.fromDate=new Date("1995-12-12");

html:

<input class="{{direction}}" type="date" name="fromDate" ng-model="fromDate"   value="{{fromDate}}">

It works fine in desktop but doesn't work in ipad. Does somebody know why?

Answer 1

Safari doesn't understand new Date("1995-12-12"); See: Invalid date in safari
