I've now checked in a new 'date' element.
I've still got some more features to add to it, but it's got the basics down.
---
elements:
- type: date
name: foo
auto_inflate: 1
will automatically create 3 select menus with the names "foo.day",
"foo.month" and "foo.year".
The individual select menu's parameters are not deleted from
$form->params, otherwise it couldn't set the 3 menu's previously
chosen values if the form's redisplayed after a submission.
See the documentation for overriding the names of the select menus,
the lists of months and years and other details.
Setting auto_inflate(1) automatically adds a DateTime inflator to the element.
Feedback welcome.
Carl
