RE: x:inputCalendar popup location

[albartell <al...@gmail.com>]

I had a similar need and modified the js code to remedy. In my scenario the
calendar was popping up off the screen (too far to the right) and I just
wanted to relocate it to be right under the input field.
 
Open popcalendar.js and add this global variable:
 
var jscalendarRelativeX = -150 // ALB 2005-07-05 changed so popup can be
right below field instead of off to right

Then here is where I made use of that new variable (note it is at source
code line number 623 or so):
jscalendarCrossobj.left = jscalendarFixedX==-1 ? ctl.offsetLeft +
jscalendarRelativeX + leftpos + "px": jscalendarFixedX

Note that this is a custom modification that I didn't take the time to put
into the JSF UI component (sorry), mostly because I haven't ventured into
that world yet :-)
 
HTH,

Hi Martin,
 
That's what I thought, but figured I'd ask anyhow ;-)  I'm not yet clever
enough to wander through the code and figure it out for myself.  But I will
plan to take a stab at making a patch once I get a chance.
 
Thanks,
Don

I just switched to using the nightly build of MyFaces, and am using
x:inputCalendar with renderAsPopup.  It looks great, and I was happy to see
that it supports the 'disabled' property perfectly (i.e. it hides the "..."
button unless enabled).  But because the component is in an iframe, and the
control must be located on the right side of the frame, the popup is
truncated.
 
Is there any property or mechanism that will allow me to control the
location of the x:inputCalendar popup?  Unless I can set the offset, or set
the x-coordinate to 0, I cannot use it.
 
Thanks for your help.
