initScreenElements() |
Transforms the simple input field, which will still be used to post the internal answer, to an input with fixed size and associated JQuery classes. Binds the method applyScreenAnswer to the events onkeyup and onblur. Makes sure a correct dateControlMask will be used; array which determines the order in which the elements of the date should be shown. Note that the locale specific masks are defined in the language specific resources \[lan].js files e.g., en.js, nl.js. |

Sets the internal answer, which should be in the XForms format, both in the local variable and in the hidden input control. |
