[jira] [Comment Edited] (TAP5-2211) Replace DatePicker with
JQueryUI DatePicker
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2211?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13808531#comment-13808531 ]

Barry, I don't think that the problem that you mentioned here is unsolvable at all.
There can be a mapping between Java and JavaScript DateFormat, and there can be a subclass of DateFormat
that returns the format.
The whole reason to replace Datepicker in Tapestry is so there is a modern, supported datepicker that's maintained
by someone else (JQuery team) and it won't get stale or obsolete soon
Also, your textfield solution won't work for BeanEditor.

> Key: TAP5-2211
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2211
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.4
> Reporter: Lenny Primak
> Labels: datefield, datepicker
>
> The current 3rd party datepicker used by Tapestry is very old,
> and isn't very good. It's time to update it to one of
> the better currently-available datepickers.
> There are about 15 unresolved issues opened against Datepicker that can all be solved by just replacing it.
> I suggest JQueryUI datepicker (if JQuery is included as the default stack)
> The current datepicker can be left alone is prototype is chosen.
> By default, JQueryUI datepicker should be used with the button-to-activate option so that it looks similar to the current datepicker.
> It should also work properly in BeanEditor and friends and even look good with form-horizontal version of BeanEditor
