I believe the attributes are populated by FormWidget._attributes but
not until the widget method is called. In your case I would create a
class like so:
class DatePickerFactory(object):
def __init__(self,dateformat="yy-mm-dd")
self.dateformat=dateformat
def widget(self,f,v,**attr):
inp = SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(f,v, **attr)
scr = SCRIPT("jQuery('#%s').datepicker(dateFormat:'%s')" % (inp
['_id'],self.dateformat))
return DIV(inp,scr)
DateWidget = DatePickerFactory(dateformat="dd-mm-yyyy")
db.define_table('test',Field('posted',widget=DateWidget.widget))
There may be a better way though...
