%ZEN.Component.dateSelect

class %ZEN.Component.dateSelect extends %ZEN.Component.control

A specialized input control for handling date values.
This control allows the user to view and edit a date value via a set of comboboxes, one for year, month, and day of month. This is useful for cases like birth dates or expiration dates where a popup calendar (as in the dateText component) is cumbersome.
The logical value of this control takes the standard form YYYY-MM-DD. You can change the order of the year, month, and day dropdows using the format property.
Note that the standard HTML events (onfocus, onclick, etc.) are fired for each of the select controls that make up this component.
Setting readOnly to true has the same effect as disabling this component; this is the standard HTML behavior for select controls.
