ideas for features

[ghost]

Hi David,
these are the ideas that came to my mind:

• For mobile: buttons a little bigger and swipe functionality to scroll months
• An option to stop the manual input of date (users tend to write the strangest things into the input fields)

That's all for the moment,
thanks for your work

Thanks Alessio, mobile definitely needs improving. I've been hesitant to disable manual input because I don't want to have a negative impact on accessibility, I'll need to research a bit more and see what other datepickers do.

I agree with your doubt to disable manual input. One possibility to maintain general accessibility, as well as manual entering the date, could be to allow users to move between days and months with the arrow keys when datepicker appear, then confirm date with the enter key.

These days I'm working to move an administrative panel to the mobile platform for a client, and I'm wondering what are the best compromise between accessibility and ease of use (maintaining a strong control over the data to save to the database). On desktop computers I'm a huge fan of manual input, on mobile devices I'm still not sure because in some cases the keyboard is not very comfortable.

Anyone looking for a solution right now (to disable manual editing of the textbox) can use the readonly="readonly" attribute for the input box you are using.

Great, I will create a new issue for the next milestone to add swipe to scroll months.
