Hi Gareth,
ok, I'll will work on this type of approach to give more power to the
user for formatting the date, thanks for the input.
In the meantime I just released an minor update to the initial release
v0.9.1 :
http://www.eulerian.com/en/opensource/datepicker-prototype-scriptaculous
Here is the ChangeLog :
- replace locale by language (RobG)
- add support for german language (Kjell Bublitz)
- add support for portuguese language
- use Prototype.emptyFunction when clickCallBack not defined, should
fix possible bug with IE and null objects (Gareth Evans)
- some code clean-up using Builder.node
Regards,
Mathieu
