CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

The documentation is very clear that using an HTML snippet in Joomla will break the date picker because the Joomla HTML kills the civiCRM <style> tags. I can live without the date picker -- a simple date input box would do -- but the code results in a two text boxes appearing, though only the right one ("birth_date_hidden") accepts input. How can I edit the code so that I am left with a simple date input box for birth date?

After putting into Article Manager, here is the relevant code for the Birth Date field:

<div class="label"><label for="birth_date"> Birth Date      <span class="crm-marker" title="This field is required.">*</span> </label></div>
                <div class="edit-value content">&nbsp;<input formattype="birth" startoffset="100" endoffset="0" format="mm/dd/yy" readonly="readonly" name="birth_date" id="birth_date" class="dateplugin" type="text" /><input name="birth_date_hidden" id="birth_date_hidden" class="hiddenElement" type="text" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="crm-clear-link">(<a href="javascript:clearDateTime( 'birth_date' );">clear</a>)</span></div>
                <div class="clear"></div>
            </div>
