Description
2. Select a Year via drop-‐down menu on calendar view.
3. Optionally support automatic selection (and hiding of popup calendar) when user clicks on a date, in cases where only a date is being entered.
4. Optionally display up to 3 months of dates at one time in the calendar view. Number of months can be specified, default to one month.
4a. When displaying >1 month in the calendar view, provide a new attribute to specify which months should be displayed. For example, make it possible to have it so that three months displays last, current, next month left to right. Two months displays current, next month left to right. Alternatively, three months displays this month, next month, and the month after that, etc.
5. Add "Today" button to calendar view that will set the focus on the current client system date only, not selected and calendar view should not close until user makes the selection.

With the time component, there is a "Done" button. This button is used to close a popup. However, it is also present in the inline mode. Then it doesn't seem to do anything.

For feature 4a, the suggested mechanism is as follows:
- add a new attribute called something like 'leftMonthOffset' which would accept an integer value. This would specify a zero-based offset indicating which month should be displayed in the leftmost position in the popup calendar, relative to the date value.
For example:
monthsToDisplay = 3
leftMonthOffset = -5
This config would open the popup with the left-most month being date - 5 months, with the middle month slot being date - 4 months, and the right most slot being date - 3 months.
5. Add "Today" button to calendar view that will set the focus on the current client system date only, not selected and calendar view should not close until user makes the selection.
This feature is implemented already, but there is a related bug with the Done button showing when it shouldn't be in some cases which needs to be resolved.
Clinet comments:
we are using <ice:selectInputDate> but it does not have singleSubmit and validator kicked off just by clicking on the calendar widget. I looked at <ace:dateTiimeEntry>, it does not display year and month as dropdown and it requires to press ok.
Ken's response:
The drop-down month feature can be added to ace:dateTimeEntry fairly readily.
It's not really feasible to avoid the Ok button press if you are entering both a date and a time on the popup, as there is no way to determine when the user is done otherwise. It could be added as an option to not render the ok/cancel buttons when only a date is being entered, fairly readily.
