Answer 1

I have a created a simple grails custom tag to use the jQuery UI datepicker. It's characteristics are as follows:

1. It creates three hidden input fields dateField_day, dateField_month, dateField_year

2. It's responsible for populating these hidden input fields when a date has been selected from the calendar.

3. Supports having multiple date fields without any conflict.

It's prerequisites are as follows:

1. You have to have jquery installed and configured properly in your app structure. That is all the js, css, and themes

The taglib code is as follows:

class JqueryDatePickerTagLib {

def jqDatePicker = {attrs, body -> def out = out def name = attrs.name def id = attrs.id ?: name

//Create date text field and supporting hidden text fields need by grails
out.println ""
out.println ""
out.println ""
out.println ""

//Code to parse selected date into hidden fields required by grails
out.println ""

} }

The gsp code is as follows:
