  a record in ClearQuest Web 7.1 client.
  
  1. Click Modify a record.
  
  2. Input an invalid value (11/03/40) in a text box of date_time
  (e.g YY/MM/DD), then the yellow color of the field is changed to
  show a message ' the value is invalid'.
  3. Click [ Save ] the record. The [ save ] action is completed
  without an validation error.
  4. The invalid value is not saved. the previous value remains.
  
  
  
  It is expected to get a validation error message ' The field
  'xxx' has the invalid value '11/03/40' ' in the above steps 3.
  It happens in the CQ Web v7.1.1.x/v7.1.2.x.
  
  CQ Web  NG ( IE6/7/8, FF3.x)
  CQ Win  OK.
  CQ RCP (Not Applicable because it is not allowed to type a
  value).
  
  The behavior should be like follows.
  
  1. Click Modify a record.
  
  2. Input an invalid value (11/03/40) in a text box of date_time
  (e.g YY/MM/DD), then the yellow color of the field is changed to
  show a message ' the value is invalid'.
  3. Click [ Save ] the record. The [ save ] action is NOT
  completed with an validation error message ' The field 'xxx' has
  the invalid value '11/03/40' '.
  4. The label of the text box of date_time becomes Red.
