To: Quanquan Liu <[email protected]>



Hello Quanquan,
Thanks for getting back to be.  It is good to hear that these widgets are
being worked on!
I took a look at the page you referred to and found your version of the
DatePicker to be very usable.

As long as there is a way to ensure that the datepicker view is nice and
clean the way yours shows up.  I think it will be fine.  I looks to me like
perhaps the cells in the grid auto-size based on the width/height settings
applied to the timegrid-view.print class.  I guess, if that is the case, as
long there is access via css to set the dimensions, all should work just
fine.

Another question:  Is this widget aimed a both version 2.2 of exhibit and
3.0?

Thanks much for your work on this widget and for taking the time to get
back to me.  I very much look forward to using this tool!

Wes
