[dev] Horde date picker

[Sebastian Birnbach]

All,

meanwhile I succeeded in displaying the picker and I got rid of code that I
dont understand.
However, the picker does not seem to be linked to the form element I am
using. I am especially interested in linking it to a field of type text
(instead of YYYY-MM-DD selectors which I consider unhandy).

So, to clarify my previous question: how is the Horde_Calendar object
attached to a form element?
