DESCRIPTION

HTML::Widgets::DateEntry is a simple module to generate HTML date entry widgets.

Currently generates widgets that look like:

  [YYYY]/[MM]/[DD]

Will be able to generate

  [MM]/[DD]/[YYYY]

  [YYYY]/[MM]

  [MM]/[YYYY]

  [YYYY]

new(% );

Use like $de = new HTML::Widgets::DateEntry(year => ['date_year',$year], month => ['date_month',$month], day => ['date_day',$day]);

returns a date entry widget object with the fields named as specified.

if defaults are not provided, values from localtime will be used.

this will get better :-)

render_widget()

Use like print $de->render_widget;

returns a string representing an HTML date entry widget. with the fields named as specified, and defaults set as specified when the object was created.

this will get better :-)
