Replying to all instead of just Yaron. Without going into Semantic Forms Inputs, a simple calendar date picker in the plain Semantic Forms extension would be a huge improvement :)
Since it is not possible to set a default value at Edit time, I really miss a 'Today' and 'Now' button in forms using dates. Also, I have been using the jQueryTabs extension as a replacement to Headertabs in my wiki for a while, with no issue so far (I only had to tweak the code to replace the use of a MD5 tag in links to each tab by a more readable alternative). It might be worth looking at it. - Laurent On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 10:46 AM, Yaron Koren <yaro...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Neill - the basic plan is to just go through all of the Javascript, > switching it over to jQuery and adding new features, and trying to make it > work as well as possible; there's no major roadmap beyond that.
