Thanks for the feedback. The other items don't look like very good candidates.
A significant problem we have now is that DateField does provide the behaviour that it used to in SF Click. I would like to scope this issue to providing a replacement of the previous DateField functionality. My preference would be for CalendarDateSelect as it provides time support. http://electronicholas.com/calendar regards Malcolm Edgar On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 6:52 PM, Adrian A. <[email protected]> wrote: >> I think the two options we have going forward to bring back DateField >> functionality. > > I think there are more options than just 2. > >> #1 http://electronicholas.com/calendar >> >> Pros: >> * has time support >> >> Cons: >> * has prototype dependency, which can impact jquery code >> * large JS includes > > Prototype and Script.aculo.us (once the most popular), now doesn't seem to > be > very developed and improved (as opposed to jQuery). > >> #2 http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/ > > This is the jQueryUI, not "jQuery" based component - this is why > is so big.
