A one-line description of the event. |
Note that the "When" could be of type "date", which would provide a pop-up calendar to assist in selecting a date. However, only one date can be selected, and we have events that may span multiple days (e.g. Hosstraders). Also, once selected a date can't be removed (or made blank), so I just decided to make this a text field.
Ideally, the State field should not be there, but I haven't figured out how to search for only a certain value. (Well, searching for a single value is easy, but constructing date values isn't that easy, and this is just a demo...)
