Form Builder Wish List

Form Builder Wish List

Would it be possible to add a time and date picker from the same library jQuery, because now the way the time is displayed in Form Builder looks a bit strange and ugly compare to the beautiful and editable calendar and ruins the layout from every contact appointment form.
That would be great!

You can select a jquery gallery custom scheme nearest to your page/form design (or build and download your own) from jquery's 'theme roller'.

Just place the scripts in same folder as existing ones and link to them from your page (or just rename them to the same as existing).

There are a couple of examples I did HERE

and a sample contact form with custom date-picker HERE

(If you click on the 'Home' link, you can download the mini-site files and customised date-picker code in-situ HERE - click the 'Contact' link for the page with the form with date picker implemented.)

Thanks for that neilo! I'm still looking for a "time picker" that can be styled in a way the calendar can be styled so when a form contains the two I have a coherent design.
All suggestions are very welcome!

Hi Tone,

Sorry - I missed the time bit of the post!

Assuming you are using a jquery time script (ie jquery.timePicker.js), the style should match the other jquery elements if you are referencing the jquery downloaded from the jquery site having chosen your scheme using the theme roller (or selected a preset scheme).

What results are you getting?

An example of a basic time picker - along with an example of a start/finish time with fixed interval can be found here.

Edit: The jquery library (as far as I know) doesn't include a 'native' time picker, and the li element seems to carry a plain white background regardless of scheme. For the example I linked to above, you would just need to edit the css for the li element to match the scheme selected for the datepicker (in the timepicker.css file).

In the same (stripped-down) example here the list css is:

div.time-picker li {
font-size:12px;
background-image: url(list_bg.jpg);
padding: 1px 1px 1px 6px;
cursor: pointer;
}

The list_bg.jpg is an image file roughly matching my date-picker css.

Not sure if that is what you are after - there isn't really much else to the timepicker select list that jquery can latch on to that wouldn't be referenced in your main custom jquery js.
