XTemplate retriving a date from local storage in Safari doesn't work

[ajchia]

But it does work in Chrome ST2.0 PR2 strangely enough.

Ext.create('Ext.XTemplate', {startDateTime}) where startDateTime is of type date from a model,
when rendered in a list shows a date in Chrome but when I open Safari on desktop or on iOS5 I get 'null' showing. It's strange because when inspecting localStorage I can see the date field ok.

Are you defining your XTemplate exactly like:

Ext.create('Ext.XTemplate', {startDateTime})

If so that is not valid, {startDateTime} is an invalid Object. Try something like this:

var tpl = Ext.create('Ext.XTemplate',
        '{startDateTime}',
        '<br>{title}'
);

var html = tpl.apply({
    startDateTime : new Date(),
    title         : 'Hi'
});

Ext.getBody().update(html);

I didn't realize that thanks, I missed the quotes in the post sorry. I dug further and found that its nothing to do with the template. I tried just accessing the date from the record directly and it returns null in safari from local storage second time around but the store thinks its ok first time around ie it's shows immediately after a save and load (sync alone doesn't work as per other threads with localstore).

However on page refresh the retrieved date comes out null. I fixed this by retyping the field to an int and using seconds from epoch. It's really odd.
