Extension:Page Forms/Input types/Datepicker/fr

The input type datepicker lets a user pop up a graphical calendar and choose a date from it. The calendar is generated entirely via script and can be navigated without any page refreshes. It always returns dates in the format yyyy/mm/dd, so they can directly be used as property values. You can tweak the appearance of the calendar by changing or overriding the CSS rules of the jQuery library.

The datepicker is somewhat peculiar in that the first day of the week is not set in a configuration variable, but in an internationalized message. This way most wikis should automatically get the right setting depending on the language. If you want to change the default first day of week, instead of changing a configuration variable you need to edit the page  in your wiki.
