You can only use one date selector per page.

Notes
Using more than one fb:editor-date results in only the last date object being submitted in the postback.
You need to validate the data this control provides as it can generate illegal date combinations such as
February 31.
If you post back to the same page, then the previous selection does not persist (appearing as if a
validation error occurred).
You cannot apply a name attribute to this tag; otherwise, no data is returned in the postback.
If you need more than one date selector, use fb:editor-custom and insert the markup yourself.
