Maybe I'm doing something stupid but I can't seem to get this new datepicker to come up at all?
I built the Tacos jar from cvs head but now when I click on the calendar, nothing comes up and I get a _javascript_ error, "this.calendarDatesContainerNode has no properties". Since you mentioned Tapestry 4.1 already has it, I tried building that jar from svn head too, but it looks like it is just using the same old calendar 4.0 uses? Is there maybe some configuration I need to do to get it to use the new calendar or something else I am missing here?

Ok an initial version is checked into cvs. You'll have to include whichever css files you guys want yourselves, but the demo folder has all of them available.
I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear of issues...Specifically if you are wanting to change the date formatting. (Uses a different format than the old one)On 2/23/06, Ben Dotte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sounds great to me from a quick glance.. I think our css people wouldn't be nearly as upset about the look of this one too :)

How about we just use this js calendar instead?
http://www.dynarch.com/demos/jscalendar/
If no one stops me I'm going to drop it in. We will eventually move back to the dojo calendar, but we need to be able to extend/create our own widgets to get that part right. Tapestry 4.1 has this version of the calendar already so I don't mind letting tacos be the black sheep :)

Thanks Jesse and [EMAIL PROTECTED] for your thoughts and ideas. Jesse -
I'm not sure how to setup the test page you mention but I've done some
investigation and found this:
1. It appears this is an IE6 bug (as usual) where selects always have a
higher z-order than anything but other selects no matter what. One
workaround is a hack where an iframe with absolute positioning is placed
right before the datepicker div and both must go at the bottom of the
HTML. The absolute positioning would be way too tricky. Another
workaround involves hiding any selects that might get in the way while
the datepicker is open. I actually got this to work and have the selects
reappear after picking a date but then you have to know the ids of all
the selects that might interfere at any given point so it's still a
pretty nasty workaround.
2-3. I like the suggestion to have the datepicker close when the user
clicks away. Its not perfect but it would make an acceptable workaround
to both of these issues. Is there an easy way to do that that you have
thought of?
Thanks again,
Ben

Also,
1) we've added a bug report at dojo for the dropdown issue.
We could try hacking away our own solution, but since it's
really their issue, I'm currently devoting my time to other tacos
bugs.
2-3) In http://tacoscomponents.jot.com/BugReporter/Bug49
i've mentioned a simple solution of having the datepicker close
whenever the user clicks away. I'm still waiting for users and
developers opinion on this.
