MooTools Date Picker

A new feature is on its way to the List Central interface. Soon List Central users will be able to associate a date, and time with any list item in any list, and request List Central to email him/her either once, annually, monthly, weekly or daily on that date and time.

I love the date picker Javascript script I found to help accomplish this new feature. It is the MooTools DatePicker by MonkeyPhysics. The script is flexible and well documented. There are even 4 different skins ready made to use in your application. Thank you MonkeyPhysics for building this date picker script!

charCode is meaningless

I have seen this Javascript error in my Firefox Error Console many times, from many high profile sites about the internet.

Warning: The ‘charCode’ property of a keyup event should not be used. The value is meaningless.

I’m trying not to be smug, but it does feel good to know that List Central uses the charCode concept while not throwing any Javascript errors. I’ve aimed to keep that Error Console clean through the entire development of List Central.

For those of you that want to get rid of that pesky charCode error, change

var code = event.charCode;

to:

var code;
if (e.keyCode){
    code = e.keyCode;
}else if (e.which) {
    code = e.which;
}
var character = String.fromCharCode(code).toLowerCase();
