Question with uix:dateField tag

Question

hi,
I am trying to use the dateField tag of uix. when we write the dateField tag as <uix:dateField /> it creates a calender. but when I click on the calender nothing shows up. In the tag Itself there are various attribs like the destination, minValue, maxValue etc probably the destination takes us to the calender!! I do have a script that opens up the calender but i suppose the dateField does that for us and If I want to validate the field a client side vadilation also is available
http://otn.oracle.com/jdeveloper/help/ under <uix:date>
but how do i use it in my context
this is the normal HTML code with script that will show the calender and set the value of the datebox(the one I am using now)
<input type="text" name="datebox" >
<a href="javascript:show_calendar('protletForm.datebox');
onmouseover="window.status='Date Picker';return true;"
onmouseout="window.status='';
return true; ">
<img src="/avegaPortlets/cabo/images/cache/c-dp.gif" width=20 height=24 border=0>
</a>
how do i get to it with the <uix:datefield> tag along with the validation?? can anybody please help me on this !!!
thanks,

hi,
thanks so much. ::::)
It did work with the <uix:form name = "something"> tag.
could you tell me what is the equivalant to the <form action = "something here"> in the <uix:form> tag???? like is it <uix:form destination = "some java class">?? will this work??
when I hit submit I want to form to be submitted and the values in the form read by my "something here" java class.
