Hi, just to close this off in case it's of use to anyone else.
I gave up trying to get the DatePicker working from within a wicket-extensions TreeTable (v1.4.2) in IE. Instead I downloaded and used the new TableTree component from http://code.google.com/p/wicket-tree/ (Thanks to Sven Meier) This gives me pretty much the same functionality I had been using with the wicket-extensions TreeTable, but now the DatePicker is working fine. I think it's something to do with how IE handles <div>. The wicket-tree TableTree component is rendered based on standard HTML <table><tr><td> markup. I found the new TableTree very natural in terms of the simplicity of the tree model is uses (ITreeProvider) and my model objects at each node don't have to implement a heavy TreeNode interface or be wrapped some implementation of it. The only drawback of TableTree was due to my own lack of experience of CSS. I had to do a lot of the styling myself, whereas I was happy with what came out of the box with extensions TreeTable. Is this wicket-tree TableTree component going to be incorporated into wicket-extensions? It seems like a good idea to drop the dependency on Swing TreeModel etc. Regards John 2009/10/12 John MacEnri <john.mace...@gmail.com> > Thanks for that Zoltan. > > Looks like it's worth a bit more digging into the css.
