Hi,

I'm trying to use the calendar for entering date of birth. Does anyone know what is the minimum date that I can set for the mindate parameter? I tried to set it to 01/01/1990. I am setting navigator to true but I cannot see years earlier than 2000 from the year dropdown list.

Thanks!

Hi Yan.

I'm doing the same thing. I'm getting min and max date expressions from my conversation-scoped bean and using the following attributes:
yearRange="-120:-18" navigator="true".

The only issue I have is that it initially shows the year 1890 in the year combo. That's something I'll raise as a bug and perhaps submit a patch. It does behave a bit odd, because I clicked a date and the date read as 29/09/2010, not 1890.

EDIT: Be careful: Calendar doesn't have a validator despite having the ability to set ranges in tag attributes. You'll need to set that up yourself.

Yan, if you feel like living on the bleeding edge, you can get the patch here. Hopefully this will make it into the next milestone or RC release.

Hi Steve,

Thanks so much. Will try it out.
