This is not an ideal solution - if you ever upgrade Seam to a later version you'll have to re-apply your changes again. A better approach would be to override the default behaviour of the calendar control by first loading the script (which happens automatically when you place a s:selectDate control in your view) and then using JavaScript to override the behaviour of __Calendar and __CalendarFactory. For example, if you didn't want the calendar to disappear when clicked then you'd override __CalendarFactory.depopupCalendar with a no-op like this: | __CalendarFactory.prototype.depopupCalendar = function() { } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4037783#...
