Date not making it to MySQL DB

Question

I just added the Date Picker to my Insert and Update forms and they show up on pages like this:
<br />
<br />http://209.62.4.98/~parishpr/admin/insert.php
<br />
<br />And the date picker looks pretty good but it never makes it to the database and I get 0000-00-00 instead. My table row 'dateAvailable' is set as a DATE type. Which is correct, I would think. So are there any extra steps to get the date to make it from the picker to the DB?
<br />
<br />Here's the code ADDT spews:
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<table>
<tr>
<td class="KT_th">
<label for="dateAvailable">Date Available:</label>
</td>
<td>
<input name="dateAvailable" id="dateAvailable" value="<?php echo KT_escapeAttribute($row_rsproperties['dateAvailable']); ?>" size="32" wdg:mondayfirst="false" wdg:subtype="Calendar" wdg:mask="<?php echo $KT_screen_date_format; ?>" wdg:type="widget" wdg:singleclick="false" wdg:restricttomask="no" wdg:readonly="true" />
<br /> <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldHint("dateAvailable");?> <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldError("properties", "dateAvailable"); ?></td>
</tr>
</table>

Answer 1

I figured out the problem. I was looking at the wrong place in the code. I had the field set up in the AddColumn area as a STRING_TYPE when in fact it should've been a DATE_TYPE.
