:: Developer Documentation Request Request Type: Correction Gecko Version: unspecified Technical Contact: :: Details Just need to share my state of frustration after the Date.toLocaleFormat() method dissappeared. What were you thinking when you made it so difficult for me as a developer to format a date like this "28-10-2018". I need it, not because I'm presenting it to the end user, but to input it as an argument to a 3rd party function. I guess I'm not the only one that needs this. Debugging and correcting my program took me 3 hours of uneccessary work... A programming language should make it easy for the developer to do common tasks like this, not hard. Would you please reintroduce a format function to the Date class?
