> there is a javascript implementation of
> SimpleDateFormat and is apache 2.0 licensed
> http://www.timdown.co.uk/code/simpledateformat.php
> it implements most of:
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
> It is 8.7 Kb with stripped comments.
> I'm looking at making a trimmed down version that can parse/format only numeric date parts : day, month, year, dour, min sec.
> This covers most likely usages on the client side (forms and datefield) and would make shorter code. 
> (I feel that prototype is bloated already so another 10K does not look apealing)
> Not to complicate things and optimize too soon, full lib can be used now,
> and later along with "multiple js lib support" the short version should be made available and pushed as default.
> while talking about dates... date format should be in message catalog so it is locale specific.
> for example in my language date format is: dd.MM.yyyy
> there should be different keys for server side format and client side format
> (the formats should be compatible of course)
> tapestry-date-format-server=MM/dd/yyyy
> tapestry-date-format-js=MM/dd/yyyy
> (which are sam in case we use forementioned lib)
> or, if one would choose to use the former date picker i would be:
> tapestry-date-format-server=MM/dd/yyyy
> tapestry-date-format-js=%m.%d.%Y
> I feel strongly about this being global  key instead parameter for
> datefield, but even if it is only for date-field there should be two formats (server and js)
> in the end... the formater should be used to test validity for the field on the client side
> or regexp added to message catalog
> tapestry-date-format-js-regex=...complex or simple regex......
