Hello, all. I'm new to YUI. Have just been looking at it for the past couple of days. Liking it, but there seems to be a lot to learn.

Right now I'm building a page that needs a date picker. Ideally, it would be a text field with a calendar icon next to it. Press on the icon and a calendar pops up. Pick a date. The calendar goes away and the date is inserted into the text field. Slightly less desirable - the user would click in the text field to get the calendar to pop up.

I kind of expected this to be an existing YUI component, but it doesn't seem to be, and I'll need to created it my self.

Before I do that, thought I'd make a quick post in the forum to make sure that I'm not overlooking something. Please let me know if I am.

Thanks!

Thanks, Dav. I did take a look there initially but couldn't find what I was looking for. I just checked again; still with no luck. I did see "AlloyUI Calendar Datepicker Select" but my requirement is that the date should input into a text field. Being so new to this, I'm probably missing something. Am I?

I spent some time extending the Calendar, adding the input field association and mixing in Y.WidgetPosition, Y.WidgetPositionAlign, and Y.WidgetStack.

Required a bit more work than I had hoped. Looking forward to the Calendar plugin for this.

Looks like we have to wait a bit longer than 3.5. Until know i cant see a date picker plugin on https://github.com/yui/yui3

Please correct me if i'm wrong

I might be wrong, but having a calendar show() on the click event of a text box and then hide() on the calendar's selectionChange event is trivial. To the point of why even bother extending.
