Re: [development] Forms API "Widgets", AJAX and non-JavaScript

1 Feb 2007

      That's a good one to know about.  Yeah, I'd probably want to do that.

The other side of this is:  the JavaScript widget.

Anybody recommend how to get the effect of a dojo combo box using jquery?

I've done a couple of projects that needed custom "widgets" to use 
within Forms API, something that you might write into code with 
something like....
$form['some_text'] = array('#type' => 'textfield', ....);
   $form['event_date'] = drupal_widget_date($title, $default,
   $options....);
   ...
Are you maybe looking for hook_elements?
Then you could do:
$form['event_date'] = array('#type' => 'my_date', ...);
Cheers,
