Another way to do this is to use unobstrusive javascript. The idea being that you create a normal input, and javascript comes behind the scenes to add the datapicker - it means your form logic is free from your widget logic. You can find a nice datepicker that does this here : http://www.frequency-decoder.com/2005/10/14/unobtrusive-date-picker-widgit/ With FormBuilder and the mentioned date picker, you could add the following to your DB_DataObject : $fb_elementTypeAttribute = array('date' => array('class' => 'format-d-m-y')); $fb_elementTypeMap = array('date' => 'HTML_QuickForm_Text'); And include the datepicker javascript in your html file. I haven't tested this yet (I am planning too!) so there might be some unexpected problems (let us know if there are!) but otherwise, it should just work this way.
