building an item-type plug-in. If at any point you want to verify anything, an example application,
covering all plug-ins in this topic, is available on Apress's web site. (See the catalog page for this topic at

Note
This chapter's example will use external JavaScript files as part of the plug-in. To make things easier,
the example assumes that you have read/write access to a web server that will allow you to modify the JavaScript
files. If you don't have such access, you'll need to either obtain access or create a local web server. An example of
how to install Apache, a free, open source web server, is covered in the Debugging & Tools chapter.
Creating the Plug-In and a Test Page
The first thing that you'll need to do is create the plug-in. The process is exactly the same as covered in
the previous chapter except for the following changes:
•
Name
: ClariFit From To Date Picker
Internal Name
:
COM.CLARIFIT.FROMTODATEPICKER
The plug-in type should be an item plug-in type. Once you have created the blank plug-in, the
Name region should look like Figure 3-3. Everything else should remain the same with the default
settings.
