Specifying Date/Time Picker object tag parameters

To embed an instance of the Date/Time Picker in HTML, use the object tag with type set to application/avantgo-mime-datetimepicker:

<object type="application/avantgo-mime-datetimepicker" 
    width=pixelsWide height=pixelsHigh> </object>

Where:

pixelsWide is the width of the Date/Time Picker area in pixels.
pixelsHigh is the height of the Date/Time Picker area in pixels.

For a list of parameters you can specify within the object tag, see the table below. For reference material you will need to write JavaScript or C code to use the Date/Time Picker, see M-Business Date/Time Picker API.
