Ah yes, the problem of not catching changes made by clicking on the little
calendar icon. Here's a crude work-around I'm using in 5.2.6, catching the
click event.
String scriptlet = "Event.observe('" + dateFieldId + "-trigger',
'click', function() { setChanged(true); });"
javaScriptSupport.addScript(scriptlet);
I wanted only to detect whether there'd been a change, to protect the user
from leaving the page without saving. It's not perfect because the user
might click the icon without actually making a change, but for my needs
it's okay.
I left a to-do note to myself a couple of years ago, "The fix might be to
add an unload event on the form that checks whether any of the date values
changed," but I don't know if that still makes sense.
