[Seaside] Re: JQuery-UI Datepicker challenges

[Paul DeBruicker]

I would guess there is not validation code.  Some browsers have native
validation functions if you use the HTML5 date input rather than a plain
text input.

I think you will find it easier to debug if you do move the code in the
callback: block into its own method, then you won't have to rerender the
datepicker every time you want to test your validation code.

So instead of:

callback: [ :value | targetDate isNil 
		ifFalse: [
			targetDate := ( Date readFrom: value pattern: 'dd/mm/yyyy' ) ] ];


use


callback: [:value | self setTargetDate: value];


then in the method #setTargetDate: you can start with the code in the
callback block and re-work it until you get what you want.  

I'd start by changing from  #readFrom:pattern: to the more general
#readString:  but ymmv....
