INSERT & UPDATE changing date format to mm/dd/yyyy!!!

I'm running into the same problem but to some extend I think this has alot to do with the differences in Windows XP and Windows 2000 lIS and how it sets the locale.
In any case the Dreamweaver Update/Insert Behavoiours should give programmer the option of converting to a ISO format date eg YYYYMMDD 24:MM:SS or some other format without breaking the code behaviour recognition.
Any hints on this would be useful?

Well, I've established that it's DW8.0.2 that is causing this strange
occurence.
Reverted back to previously created versions of my INSERT/UPDATE form pages
(created in DWMX) and it all works fine!!
I think that makes the whole situation even more frustrating because I had
HUGE problems with this back in 2003/2004, and resolved it.
Now I've upgraded to DW8.0.2 and it's all gone "ape" again. <sigh>

Any ideas, looking at the code in my initial post, why this is happening?
For comparison here is the same INSERT created in DWMX that WORKS:

This type of thing does my HEAD in.
