Hi all, There's a bunch of problems with DatePicker poppin up. In fact, there have been problems with it's localization support from the start, but I hoped they would be fixed with a new version of jscalendar for which the datepicker component is just a wrapper. However, the last release of that thing was almost a year ago, and I don't feel confident there will be any release soon.
I'd like to propose an alternative to jscalendar. One that has robusteness over number of features, though I have no problem with that thing looking nice. One of the candidates that looks good to me is the yahoo calendar, http://developer.yahoo.net/yui/calendar/index.html Anyone played around with that? If that's good, and some other yahoo components are too (they sure look good to me), we could create a couple of Yahoo/Wicket components. My plan would be to deprecate the current date picker - fix bugs if anyone can submit patches, but I'm too short of time to go after that myself - and create a wicket.extensions.markup.html.yahoo package for all yahoo components (e.g. we would have wicket.extensions.markup.html.yahoo.calendar). Also, my plan would be to make using these components super easy to use. If I look at the current DatePicker implementation, I believe I took it too far in trying to support a large part of the jscalendar API. New implementations should be far simpler and more limited to what it can do by default. If people want more fancy stuff, they could extend such a component and learn from the implementation how to take their component further. Thoughts, suggestions?
