Hi everybody.
So I have been working on getting some sort of JavaScript Popup
Calendar into a Trinidad component. I've looked into a couple of
options. The Dojo calendar proved to be quite difficult to integrate
into a Trinidad component, especially around the value binding to a
property in a backing bean, and I was never actually able to get it
working. On top of that difficulty, I question the ability to skin and
internationalize that component. So I moved on...
I've come across a very nice JavaScript Date Picker that was
written by somebody else and put up on the web for public use. You can
see examples and the source at:
http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/calendarpopup/
I have put this into the standard SelectInputDate component with
much success. It is very easy to use with other Trinidad features, it
is skinable, internationalize-able, satisfies some of the requirements
mentioned thus far (i.e., disable weekends, select only month & year,
...), and is rather flexible in how it can be used, which you can see in
the examples on the website. As far as licensing, the comments in his
source file seem to indicate that we are free to use it as we please, so
I suppose the blessing from the author is all that is needed.
Please have a look at the examples in the URL pasted above. I am
interested in any thoughts/concerns about using this for our JavaScript
Popup Calendar.
Thanks...
Dave

Prepare it for Trinidad - I'll have a look at it when it's finished,
and will take it over for tomahawk if I like it!
