Maybe you can give me some suggestions... The screen I'm working on includes two text fields which represent dates. These text fields need to be able to handle different date formats depending on the particular client. That isn't a problem with the datepicker widget since I can instantiate that with whatever date format string I want to use.
The problem comes when the user's browser is IE 6 since that's the browser that has the performance issues with the datepicker widget. Until jQuery UI 1.8 is formally released as a production ready API (I didn't see any release dates mentioned on the jQuery website), I have to eliminate the datepicker from IE 6 browsers, which almost half of our users have. This also eliminates all the date format functionality as well, no? Is there a way in jQuery to leverage the formatting capabilities of the datepicker widget without instantiating the datepicker widget? By this, I mean is there a way to do it already incorporated into the jQuery codebase? I'm hoping to avoid having to write my own date parser, localization, etc. due to time constraints.
