WebWork - datepicker

Implementation was changed in WebWork 2.2 to use jscalendar instead of non locale aware tigracalendar. Check locale and format settings if you used the old widget in your applications. Be sure to include proper stylesheet as described below if you don't want the calender widget to look transparent.

Important: Be sure to set the id attributs if not used within a <ww:form /> tag, as it takes care of setting the id for you, being required to copy selected date to text input element.

Following a reference for the format parameter (copied from jscalendar documentation):

Examples

Date in application's locale format:
    <ww:datepicker name="order.date" id="order.date" />
Date in german locale, with german texts:
    <ww:datepicker name="delivery.date" id="delivery.date" template="datepicker_js.ftl" language="de" />
Date in german locale, with german texts and custom date format, including time:
    <ww:datepicker name="invoice.date" id="invoice.date" template="datepicker_js.ftl" language="de" format="%d. %b &Y %H:%M" showstime="true" />

If you use this jscalendar based datepicker widget, you might want to use one of the standard stylesheets provided with jscalendar (all distribution stylesheets are included in webwork jar). The easiest way to do so is to place the <ww:head/> tag in the head of your html page, as it takes care of including calendar css. Otherwise, to manually activate the calendar-blue style, include the following in your stylesheet definition:

<link href="<ww:url value="/webwork/jscalendar/calendar-blue.css" />" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all"/>
