Hi guys, I'm re-directing this thread on-list so others can join in. Fluid is working on designs for a unified date/time picker. I apologize that we haven't done a better job of publicizing this work. Here are Erin Yu's in-progress designs:
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Date+Picker+Widget Antranig will likely be helping her to implement this, but if you're interested in lending a hand, we'd love your help. We haven't yet settled a date widget to reuse. Antranig has had good luck with the YUI widget. The jQuery UI widget has potential. Both need significant accessibility work to be useful. We've launched a new Mozilla Foundation-funded project to help improve accessibility in the jQuery community. There's a news article on the Fluid Project website and we've created a new jQuery-a11y forum as well: http://fluidproject.org/ http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-a11y Colin On 5-Mar-08, at 12:21 PM, Noah Botimer wrote: > Cool.
