Javascript culture always en-us
- by LoveMeSomeCode
I'm not sure if I understand this code or if I'm using it right, but I was under the impression that in an ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX website I could run javascript like:
var c = Sys.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture
and it would give me the culture/language settings the user had specified in their browser at the time of the visit. However, for me, it always comes back 'en-US' no matter what language I pick in firefox or IE.
This serverside code however:
string[] languages = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages;
if (languages == null || languages.Length == 0)
return null;
try
{
string language = languages[0].ToLowerInvariant().Trim();
return CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(language);
}
catch (ArgumentException)
{
return null;
}
does return the language I have currently set. But I need to do this clientside, because I need to parse a string into a datetime and do some validations before I postback, and the string could be a MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY, or some other such thing.
What am I missing?
