Date input requires two digits for day & month

The date text box requires you to type two digits for the month and day, even for a date like 7/2/1985. Most people aren't used to having to enter 07/02/1985. What I've seen before is that when the user enters either '/' or '-' they are taken to the next field automatically. So then they just have to enter 7/2/1985, which is more natural.
