Its default is 1900-2999. It can be customized to any range though.
The problem I experienced with "pure textfields" for Date/Time values,
was that the users got shocked when they saw it, since they always typed
the wrong format, or what they were used to(e.g. in some applications
even words were allowed: tomorrow, next week, etc.).
Keep in mind that DateField javadoc states the following:
"Users can either key in a Date value or select a Date using the
Calendar."
So users have always been free to enter any text they want. Its up to
validation to ensure the dates are correct. If a Click application had
to be 508 compliant, the textfield would have been used anyway.
Maybe a new page could be added to the Click site: "Wanted" :),
There is Click wiki here:
