Simple datepicker using $edit-text widget

[Mohammad]

Open 

and create a new tiddler and paste the below script

<$edit-text tiddler="mytiddler" field="mydate" type="date"/>        

This simply lets you to set  mydate field in mytiddler to a selected date!

 

Look at the mytiddler tiddler and check the mydate field

Is this a recommended procedure to have an html5 datapicker in TW?

Hi Mohammad

The trouble with some of these HTML5 features is that they are not consistently implemented across browsers. Input elements of type date have particularly poor support because they don’t work in IE or Safari:

https://caniuse.com/#search=input-date

So, in practice, almost all sites nowadays implement their own date pickers (and colour pickers, sliders etc), so that they can guarantee consistent behaviour and appearance.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Not if the intention is to be accessible to as many people as possible.

The core does use the HTML5 colour picker. Like the date picker, it falls back to an ordinary input control on browsers that don’t support it, making it a “progressive enhancement”.
