[Seaside] dateInput Question

[Michel Bany]

Hi Ron,

You do not provide enough background information.
Are you using Squeak or VW ?
Are you using SeasideAsynx of Scriptaculous ?

Since you are refering to liveCallback, it looks as if you are using  
SeasideAsync.
Also, the code you are wondering about is using the canvas api.
However, live callbacks are not implemented (yet) for the canvas api.
Are you implementing it ?
Did you copy/paste some code into your component ?

Regular callbacks are triggered by the submission of the form.
i.e. click a submit button, hit the return key, execution of a submit 
() javascript.
Therefore you need a form if you want regular callbacks triggered.

The dateInput composite is made up of four html elements
a select for the month, an input for the day, an input for the year and
the hidden input, each with a callback. The first three callbacks
are for collecting the input values. The fourth callback assembles
the input values into an instance of Date and passes it to
the component callback.
