Description

Trying the WW showcase demo on Tomcat.

The UI tags example has a datepicker.

This does not show correctly text in danish language.

<ww:datepicker
                language="da"
     tooltip="Select Your Birthday"
     label="Birthday"
     name="birthday" />

Looks like some of the calendar-XX.js files hasn't been encoded as UTF-8 suggested by the developers of the date picker.
We must check all the languages.

The _de works fine since they have \u escaped the text.

Maybe ant's native2ascii can help us do some of the changes.

#broken calendar-xx.js files
-da
-el
-ko
-lt
-lv
-no
-pl
-ro
-si
-sk
-sv
-tr

# looks incomplete
-af

# not possible to determine
-bg
-big5
-jp
-ru

And -zh is really a good one since it has \u escaped everything

Hmmm

This morning I did a CVS updated and deployed to Tomcat again.
Now the date picker works with the danish chars.

<ww:datepicker
     tooltip="Select Your Birthday"
     label="Birthday"
     name="birthday" />

There is no logic.

The -da works, the -sv (swedish) does not.

I guess it would be best if all the files were \u escaped, to have it work on any OS and any web browser.

I used JDK's native2ascii to convert the swedish to use \u encoding.

Now it works nicely.

-fr
-hu
-lv
-sv

works fine, all okay:
-de
-en

Thanks Toby.
BTW, I wonder why we are doing the job of the jscalendar guys ;)

As for the missing locales:
we should not put too much effort in there now, because we might need to remove jscalendar shipped with WW again due to LGPL issues....

Added supplied patches, and did some testing. Must say that Quickstart on WinXP works perfect here.
Closing for no, we might want to to reopen it after releasing.
