My VF page has an inputField component for a date field that represents someone's birthdate. The HTML that gets generated from this includes a link that allows the user to select the current date. For birth dates, it's pretty rare that this link is useful. Is there any way to remove the link, but still keep the rest of the date picker functionality?

For what it's worth, I tried defining this style sheet rule:

   .hideDateFormat a {display:none;visibility:hidden;}

and adding this to the inputField tag:

    styleClass="hideDateFormat"

This successfully hides the date link, but not the square brackets that surround the link, so what I'm left with is a text entry field (which the user an click to invoke the date picker), followed by empty square brackets. I can't figure out how to remove the brackets.

Thanks,

Jeri
