How about ditching the JS based datepicker altogether and replace it against the built-in datepicker offered by modern browsers? This would also help users of mobile devices because they already have good internal implementations to select a date. I agree that on desktop browsers the built-in datepicker does not really look nice, but IMO still works way better than the <input type="text"> widget, (ab-)used for date types as currently implemented in Django.
A compromise for the Django Admin could be to detect the CSS query "@media (pointer:coarse)". If this matches, it's a mobile device and we can fall back on the internal date selector. Otherwise use a nice looking JS implementation. There is a good article on CSS Tricks about date input types: https://css-tricks.com/better-form-inputs-for-better-mobile-user-experiences/#aa-a-quick-detour-into-date-types Btw., since PR#15806 <https://github.com/django/django/pull/15806> is stale, may I reclaim it? – Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
