When I create a calendar element I see the calendar but I do not see any value after selecting a date. What am I doing wrong?

For the calendar in EasyMode, you need to create a textfield first which will end up 'holding' the date that is picked. For this example, let's name it date. Then you need to create the calendar element. In the options, it has a field that says:

Connect With Field (name): Enter date in that field. Then click on the Update button. Now you need to make sure that you have added a 'submit' or 'next page' button (whichever is appropriate) that has an action script assigned to it. The settings should be:

Type: Library

Actions: Click (should be checked)

Script: FF::ff_validate_submit (if it is a one-page form)

or

Script: FF::ff_validate_nextpage (if it is a multi-page form)

Then click the Update button and then save the form. Now you should see the date picker in your form.
