Binding to input field with type='date' doesn't work in Chrome

Chrome lets you put type='date' on an input field and the browser will show native date picker.

When you try to bind JavaScript object to the input field with type='date' no value fills in. When you remove type='date' from the form field everything works fine.

I'm using the jQuery plugin of transparency (jQuery 1.8.2).

<form class='bug_test'>
    <input type="date" id="date_type"/>
    <input id="no_type"/>
</form>

$(function() {
    $('.bug_test').render({ 
        date_type: '10/12/2011',
        no_type: '10/12/2011'
    });
});

I actually tried both regular String and Date object to bind to field.

Trying to set the value of the field with jQuery alone doesn't work, either a bug with Chrome or jQuery... Closing this out.

Alright so here is the real problem...

"When setting the input.value programmatically, the value accepts only yyyy-mm-dd style regardless of the presentation format for both the initial value and the JavaScript injected value."
