Making date picker work in ITS environment

Question

Hello,
I know this is the BSP forum, but I need help with this issue on ITS 6.20 SP12 and I don't know where else to post this on the SDN.
I am trying to use a JS date picker app like this:
<td>`OPEN_SCH_LINES.label`</td>
                <td><input type="text" name="`ZSR_OPEN_SCH_LINES[1].name`" />
                    <a href="javascript:show_calendar('area1.`ZSR_OPEN_SCH_LINES[1].name`');">
                <img id="calendar" src="`mimeurl(~name="calendar.gif", ~language="", ~theme="99")`" />
                    </a>
                </td>
this is what the ITS makes out of it:
<td>Open Schedule lines</td>
                <td><input type="text" name="zsr_open_sch_lines[1]" />
                    <a href="javascript:show_calendar('area1.zsr_open_sch_lines[1]');">
                <img id="calendar" src="/sap/its/mimes/zwmm01/99/calendar.gif" />
                    </a>
                </td>
Problem is that when the JS is triggered using the button, I can pick a date from the calendar app, but receive an error saying that the
"self.opener.document.area1.zsr_open_sch_lines.1" is null or not an object. It obviously seems to have problems with the "[1]" indexation the ITS adds. I have managed to get the date picker working by removing the "[1]" but how can I then get the field entry back into the context?
Any advice re this is highly appreciated - also any hints to better or more suitable JS date picker apps.
Many thanks,
Michael
