Thank you, Morten.

I wonder when we can start to modify the code as your suggestion :D

.......... Morten ......

What I need from you guys:
- If you want to get todays date, please use calendar.today(), and not jdk
Calendar / Date since these are not localized
- For any kind of date / calendar manipulation, please use calendar again
(it has plusDays, plusWeeks etc)
- If you use jquery ui date picker, please use the global date picker
instead
- When saving dates to the database, please convert to iso first
(calendar.toIso), and convert to local when getting values out
(calendar.fromIso)
...


Best regards,
