I'm really struggling to see how any of these alternative implementations are an improvement as they seem functionally exactly the same.
- torstenvl 4y agoExcept that the second and third ones are clearly awful, as there really is no way to dig into the month/year for faster manipulation (at least not one that's readily apparent).
- kalleboo 4y agoThe awful ones are both the mobile browsers, the others are desktop browsers.
- culi 4y agoFrom left to right: Chrome desktop, Chrome mobile, Safari desktop, Safari mobile, and Firefox desktop Yes both Chrome and Safari's implementations suck, but I feel like seniors would have a hard time with pretty much all of these. Firefox is clearly the winner here, but I'd imagine would still trip many seniors up
- Joeri 4y agoSome of those have editable text input fields. That leaves people the choice of entering the date manually or trying yo navigate the picker UI.
- kalleboo 4y agoThe ones with editable text input fields are all desktop browsers (1 is Chrome, 3 is Safari and I think the last one is Firefox) and the ones without them are mobile (2 is Chrome 4 is Safari)
- culi 4y agoYes all the desktop ones have editable text. I haven't tried it, but I imagine you can manually override an `<input>`'s onFocus to not call `e.target.showPicker()` when it's focused on. This would likely allow users to keyboard enter an amount instead Might be annoying for users that actually know how to use and prefer the picker however.
