as you can see im using String for my date.. so
i was wondering if i can get the submited data using
date data type ?
html form :
<label for="Date">Date Of The Problem </label>
<input type="date" id="accDate" name="Date" required="required"
/>
java source code:
String date = request.getParameter("Date");
