Rogue Date Picker on VF Pages
Hi all,
For some reason I am having a date picker appear on my VF pages. By date picker, I mean two picklists side by side, one listing the months and one listing years from 2009-2015. Below that is text: SunMonTueWedThuFriSat. Then below that is a blankspot where I assume a calendar should be followed by a blue "Today" link.
Below is the source form the generated page:
</html><div class="datePicker" id="datePicker"><div class="dateBar"><img src="/s.gif" alt="Previous Month" class="calLeft" onblur="this.className = 'calLeft';" onclick="DatePicker.datePicker.prevMonth();" onfocus="this.className = 'calLeftOn';" onmouseout="this.className = 'calLeft';" onmouseover="this.className = 'calLeftOn';" title="Previous Month"/><select id="calMonthPicker" name="calMonthPicker" title="Month"><option value="0">January</option> <option value="1">February</option> <option value="2">March</option> <option value="3">April</option> <option value="4">May</option> <option value="5">June</option> <option value="6">July</option> <option value="7">August</option> <option value="8">September</option> <option value="9">October</option> <option value="10">November</option> <option value="11">December</option> </select><img src="/s.gif" alt="Next Month" class="calRight" onblur="this.className = 'calRight';" onclick="DatePicker.datePicker.nextMonth();" onfocus="this.className = 'calRightOn';" onmouseout="this.className = 'calRight';" onmouseover="this.className = 'calRightOn';" title="Next Month"/><select id="calYearPicker" name="calYearPicker" title="Year"><option value="2009">2009</option> <option value="2010">2010</option> <option value="2011">2011</option> <option value="2012">2012</option> <option

However on my VF page, the final lines look like this:
</body></apex:form> </html> </apex:page>
Any ideas where that picker might be coming from? Unfortunately I am unable to post the full source, so I created a new VF page with only:
<apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false" standardController="Opportunity" > <html> <apex:form > </apex:form> </html> </apex:page>
The date picker items still appear! A solid head-scratcher.
Hi,
This is an regression introduced in this release.
A workaround for this is to add standardStyleSheets="false" to your page component.
Sorry for the headache. Let me know if this workaround don't fit your need.

Ran into this today.
Just changed the api version of the metadata for the VF page to 21.0 and it went away without resorting to the useStandardStylesheets=false as mentioned above which wasn't working for my particular case on 20.0
Oh this is good - I thought you didn't have to worry about updates breaking stuff in the cloud?
Do I have to go through and change all my pages ... and components ... and templates to 21 to get rid of this?
