I'm trying to implement kendo.ui.NumericTextBox (
http://docs.kendoui.com/api/web/numerictextbox#downarrowtext-stringdefault) 
in a similar manner to the other jquery ui elements.  I've included the 
necessary basics for the kendoui stuff ie the kendoui-rails gem and added 
all that is required for it.  Now I'm trying to create a rich data type and 
implement the numerical text box using the jquery ui calendar control.

First things first the rich data type below seems to work find when I add 
it to a field of a model 

 
class Currency < DelegateClass(BigDecimal)

  COLUMN_TYPE = :decimal#, :precision => 12, :scale => 2

  HoboFields.register_type(:currency, self)

  def to_html(xmldoctype = true)
    "$#{number_with_precision self, :precision => 2}"
  end

end

I wish I could specify the precision and scale here but that doesn't work 
the last I checked so I need to have the field in the model setup as:
    cost      :currency, :precision => 12, :scale => 2
But it works so moving on.

My problem is in setting up the tag to go along with the rich type.  I have 
the following so far based again on the jquery calendar tag

<def tag="input" for="Currency">
<currency format="c" decimals="2" merge/>
</def>

<def tag="currency" attrs="name"><%
  options, attrs = attributes.partition_hash(['culture', 'decimals', 
'downArrowText', 'format', 'max', 'min', 'placeholder', 'spinners', 'step', 
'upArrowText', 'value'])
  events, html_attrs = attrs.partition_hash(['change', 'spin'])
  add_data_rapid!(html_attrs, "kendoNumericTextBox", :options => options, 
:events => events)
  name ||= param_name_for_this %>

<%= text_field_tag(name, this, deunderscore_attributes(html_attrs)) %>
</def>

Two issues so far.

First the first tag isn't get used by default for currency fields.

If I work around it by manually calling the second tag as per below the 
input tag looks fine but the kendoNumericTextBox function is never called 
to convert the standard text box over.  I don't see how that is done for 
the calendar control.

Work around to manual call the second tag

<field-list size="8" columns="2" fields="price, cost">
<cost-view:><currency/></cost-view:>
</field-list>

Any help in understanding all this would be appreciated.  I hope to add a 
few other kendoui controls once I figure out how this all works.  I'll of 
course make it all available as a gem for others to use assuming I ever get 
it working properly.
