DateItem not working

[anurag_agarwal]

I am seeing an issue with DateItem after I started using SmartGwt v8.2p_2013-01-21/PowerEdition Deployment 2013-01-21.
The attached images show before and after image of what I see in the browser.
The following error is also in the console.

Uncaught JavaScript exception [TypeError: _1.charAt is not a function] in http://127.0.0.1:8888/v632/sc/modules/ISC_Forms.js, line 2632

Browser is firefox version 18.0.1

The code for DateItem is as follows:
DateItem frmDt = new DateItem();
frmDt.setName("fromDate");
frmDt.setTitle("Start Date");
frmDt.setTitleOrientation(TitleOrientation.TOP);
