Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo commented on TAP5-2211:
-----------------------------------------------------
Lenny, I don't think you understood my and Barry's point. Replacing the current
date picker, bad as it is, by jQuery UI's one, good as it is, would cause a
different set of problems, but we would still have problems (the Tapestry's
DateField component wouldn't be backward-compatible, we'd need to work a lot on
error-prone date format conversions, etc). The problem lies in in integration,
not in jQuery UI's date picker itself. Again, it's trying to fix a set of
problems to end up with another one.
If tying Tapestry to a date picker is a problem, why don't we deprecate the
current one with no out-of-the-box replacement, but some recommendations,
instead? Or just fix the problems you found in tapestry-datepicker but didn't
describe? This last option seems to be the best one for me so far.
> Replace DatePicker with JQueryUI DatePicker

> Key: TAP5-2211
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2211
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.4
> Reporter: Lenny Primak
> Labels: datefield, datepicker
>
> The current 3rd party datepicker used by Tapestry is very old,
> and isn't very good. It's time to update it to one of
> the better currently-available datepickers.
> There are about 15 unresolved issues opened against Datepicker that can all
> be solved by just replacing it.
> I suggest JQueryUI datepicker (if JQuery is included as the default stack)
> The current datepicker can be left alone is prototype is chosen.
> By default, JQueryUI datepicker should be used with the button-to-activate
> option so that it looks similar to the current datepicker.
> It should also work properly in BeanEditor and friends and even look good
> with form-horizontal version of BeanEditor
