By the way, this datepicker thing brings up the whole issue of external resources. I just
looked at my page's sourcecode and noticed that there is (not surpingly) JavaScript
all over the place. My understanding is that script elements only properly belong in the
head element of HTML, and ideally they should actually be external to the page itself, in
a separate URL. Same with CSS elements, handy icons, etc. I assume the answer on this is
"yes", but the question is, is Seam or JSF going to have a mechanism for
components to specify external dependencies, and then have all those external resources be
truly external to the generated page? Or is this actually not a good idea for some
reason? I'm just thinking that for things like the date picker, the JS for that will
never change, so why send it as part of every page? In the case of a small piece of JS
like the date picker this doesn't matter, but no doubt we will be seeing bigger
components, like GUI type editors, etc, which you can't practically send with every
page.
