Ebay Time Away problem

Unread post by MrD2018 » 2020-12-20, 14:45

I have noticed a problem with the new Time Away settings page in Ebay. When selecting a Start Date or End Date for your time away, a small calendar should appear for you to choose a date. The calendar appears when using Firefox or Chrome but not with Pale Moon.

Not sure what they are using (probably some js abomination that does exactly the same thing just slightly differently) but they -could- just use the standard html date input form, which is rendered on the browser side with zero overhead. We have all these html elements with specific useful features, and spent time and effort implementing them, for a reason. :problem:
