Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 187816

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

[Bob Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

In the site-specific pages accessible from
http://www.tva.gov/greenpowerswitch/solar_sites.htm , data and charts should be
displayed after valid dates are selected (and Go is hit).  In Mozilla, an error
message like "You must select a date earlier than today's date. Today is January
5,." is displayed instead. iE 6.0 displays the data and charts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL.
2. Scroll down, select valid previous date such as 04 January, 2002
3. Hit Go.

Actual Results:  
Error message popup is displayed.

Expected Results:  
Display site-specific "Fast Facts" table and solar power chart.

Using default theme, tabs.  Saw other javascript date bugs listed, but didn't
wade through them all (sorry).
