datetime field type in Opera browser

[aktar]

I came aross this by accident actually when I was trying to streamline a class to make SQL and HTML field types to work together.

In the Opera browser you will get a beautiful PROPER calender when you do something like this :

[HTML]<input type="datetime" >[/HTML]

I think this is wonderful when users are required to fill in date values in forms.
But what I was really wondering is if this feature is likely to appear across the board on all browers or are the fellas at Opera just experimenting with it?

BTW I'm using version 9.26 at the moment

datetime is a standard HTML4.01 type attribute.
