datePicker - Doco

[tony.herstell1]

To get the dat picker to work I had to find the .js file (that was not trivial.. but I finally found it in the ui example!)

I copied that into my project.

I then referenced the .js from the page where it's used.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="#{basePath}js/calendar.js"></script>

Could this be added to the manual.

You spoil us... so I just thought adding the tag would automagically give me a date picker.

[shane.bryzak]

If you use the s:selectDate tag then the Javascript is automatically imported for you.

[tony.herstell1]

ddint work for me.

[tony.herstell1]

probably relies on some sort of "seam gen" project structure or summat.
I have my structure allied with my IDE so that I dont have to use Ant.

Nope, nothing to do with seam-gen. You do need Seam 1.2

[tony.herstell1]

I am using seam 1.2.1 GA

 <s:selectDate for="dateEffectiveTo" startYear="2007" dateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy">
 <h:graphicImage url="#{basePath}/images/datepicker.gif" style="margin-left:5px;cursor:pointer"/>
 </s:selectDate>

You must have the resource servlet installed.

What do I need to change?

[gavin.king]

http://docs.jboss.org/seam/1.2.1.GA/reference/en/html/configuration.html

Add the resource servlet.

[tony.herstell1]

Thanks Gavin for you help. The dates now arrive correctly :)

I have got rid of my local copy of the .js and .css

Perhaps this info might go in Chapter 24, JMF Seam Controls, under the <s:slectDate> area.

A VERY useful, if unfortuantely incomplete chapter.

[tony.herstell1]

You must have the resource servlet installed.

I actually though you meant I had it installed when I shouldn't have!

So was posting my code to show I didnt have it there.

Sorry.
