Is it possible to customise the look and functionality of the datepicker on a nested search page form?

We are using Squiz Matrix v4.18.4 and it does not look that good, and you have to find the tiny "X" button to close it instead of just clicking outside the popup calendar.

 

Is it possible to easily 'skin' this component and make it behave and look more like the JQuery UI Datepicker?

Yeah, you could use the jQuery Datepicker, you just would need to get a little tricky to send the GET vars along with the search form request. There is no drop-in solution for this, but it would work.

Hey Nic, does life get better for this in the latest version of Squiz Matrix?

Not that I have seen. But there is nothing stopping you from using CSS to completely overhaul the standard Matrix date picker. I think you could make it look pretty good.

Yeah, that's cool. Just comes down to how much time they give me ;)
