Request: jQuery UI DatePicker Support in Adobe AIR

Request: jQuery UI DatePicker Support in Adobe AIR


My name is Rob Christensen and I'm a product manager on Adobe AIR.
We've been hearing reports from some jQuery UI developers that the
DatePicker does not work in Adobe AIR.
There is a bug on this already and there are quite a few tweets about
this as well:
http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/3945
Even though AIR includes WebKit, the issue exists due to AIR's more
restrictive security model (useful for desktop applications but less
useful for the browser since the browser has a different security
contract with users).
There is additional information here on AIR's HTML security sandbox
model here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_html_security/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11c0f598320-7ffc.html
We are determined to fix this and would really like to collaborate
with members of the jQuery UI development team to address this.
What is the best way to proceed? I sent an email to Marc, the original
developer of the DatePicker, but I'm hedging my bets by sending an
email to this list in the event that he is not maintaining it.
Thank you!
