I read the article, and I'm facing some difficulties. The article is very dojo oriented, and the library I'm trying to work with is jquery (datepicker). I guess the second approach mentioned there is similar to the solution proposed above. Am I right? Can you please explain how does this custom tag read the value of inner input text 'bbb' (datepicker set a date into it)?
