--------------------------------------

Escaping datefield value is inappropriate for localized dates, for example French months  décembre or février.

> The calendar component provided in tapestry 5.1.0.5 could be used to allow code injection by malicious web users into any page that uses datefield .
> To reproduce the vulnerability, put js code like  <script>alert("T5 is great"); </script> in any datefield  and click on the related calendar bitma
> After quick search in the DateField.js, it seems like the field value is not escaping
> escaping with a change like var value = escape($F(this.field));  the field value seems solve this vulnerability.
