Lenny Primak commented on TAP5-2211:
------------------------------------
I think in any case, tying Tapestry to a legacy datepicker that's unsupported
is not the best approach. If tying a framework to a datepicker,
a supported JQuery datepicker is a good way to go. At least when there are
issues filed against it then JQuery people could fix it.
The API for this is pretty stable as well, so that's wouldn't be an issues.
I've tried using Barry's datepicker library, and it does work as advertised,
but it doesn't integrate well
in all cases and all layouts in bootstrap. I won't go into it further (maybe
later offline) but
all these problems are too complicated for ordinary users to grasp, so this
should be fixed in tapestry one way or another.
I do have an alternative set of issues that can make the current datepicker
work, but I would prefer to fix the root of the problem
and go with JQuery Datepicker.

> Key: TAP5-2211
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2211
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.4
> Reporter: Lenny Primak
> Labels: datefield, datepicker
>
> The current 3rd party datepicker used by Tapestry is very old,
> and isn't very good. It's time to update it to one of
> the better currently-available datepickers.
> There are about 15 unresolved issues opened against Datepicker that can all
> be solved by just replacing it.
> I suggest JQueryUI datepicker (if JQuery is included as the default stack)
> The current datepicker can be left alone is prototype is chosen.
> By default, JQueryUI datepicker should be used with the button-to-activate
> option so that it looks similar to the current datepicker.
> It should also work properly in BeanEditor and friends and even look good
> with form-horizontal version of BeanEditor
