Setting ID's in Ext.form.DateField? - Ext JS

Is there a way to set the Ext.form.DateField 'id' and 'name' before render?

This doesn't work:

function setup() {
  var d = new Ext.form.DateField({id:'test_form', name:'test_name'});
  d.render('container');
  d.setValue('01/01/08');
}

I end up with this:

<div id="container">
<div style="width: 109px;" id="ext-gen7" class="x-form-date-wrap"><input title="" class="x-form-field" id="ext-gen6" size="16" autocomplete="off" type="text"></div></div>
  


    <input name="commit" value="Create" type="submit">
  </p>
</form>

On the list of Ext sugar to make things sweet: it would be great if we could just specify a field name to transform into a date picker.

A nice time picker would make my day too.

In the next rev coming shortly you can do all of the following: var d = new Ext.form.DateField({ id:'test_form', name:'test_name' }); d.render('container'); d.setValue('01/01/08'); var d = new Ext.form.DateField({ id:'someId' // <-- name will default to id }); d.render('container'); d.setValue('01/01/08'); var d = new Ext.form.DateField({ id:'test_form', name:'test_name', value: '01/01/08' }); d.render('container'); var d = new Ext.form.DateField({ target:'existing-element', // <-- does not mess with id or name value: '01/01/08' });
