Introduction
We wanted a single element in OOH Forms to handle the date drop-down view.
This could have been achieved by adding three elements seperatly but the validation would have been difficult, confusing and lengthy. So our aim was to make life easier by making a single element which could automatically generate a drop-down and handle all the possible validation.
What can of_calendar do?
It can be used with the elements of OOHForms to effectively use the calender element.
On calling $f->show_element("cal")
of_calendar will generate this view.
