RE: [flexcoders] Calendar component

[Jeff Tapper]

It would have been nice if that was the native behavior, but, as I was 
showing, adding custom behaviors like that to a component is pretty 
easy. It probably took me less time to put that example together than it 
would have taken to describe it at as feature request.

Honestly, i think the freely type-able date field (like my new component 
has) will do far more for a person entering their date of birth than a 
button to navigate years. I'd personally rather enter the 10 keystrokes 
for my DOB, than have to click a back one year button 35 times.

Hi Jeff
This surely is a useful piece of code but don't you feel that this
should have been a facility of the original date component.
The other issue that Will raised about moving back and forth by a year
is still absent. Just think of a user trying to enter the date of birth
of a customer who has come to get his insurance policy for driving
license, lets put the person happens to be in his mid 50s.
