Description

DateField is Tapestry 5 is based on the excellent dynarch.com DHTML/JavaScript Calendar. This calendar provides hooks for javascript callback functions.

Currently it's not possible to define such an clientside javascript function because the method JSONObject#valueToString is always quoting all the elements of the json object, while javascript expects a reference to a javascript function

Therefore the js-error: "... not a function" is given.

For example: what is needed is:
Calendar.setup(

{"inputField":"a","ifFormat":"%d-%m-%y","button":"a:trigger","onUpdate":afterUpdateElement}

);

while DateField outputs:
Calendar.setup(

{"inputField":"a","ifFormat":"%d-%m-%y","button":"a:trigger","onUpdate":"afterUpdateElement"}

); // <-- difference is in the quotes round afterUpdateElement

issue is similar to TAPESTRY-1795 (tapestry 4)
