Option to not insert button and styling?

[douglasg14b]

With the JQuery UI datepicker, you can instantiate it on an input element without it overriding the html/CSS of the element and inserting it's own button.

Can the date range picker do the same?

No.

@op16 That's a very terse answer :/

Is there a workaround? Can this be a feature request?

[op16]

There is no workaround. The reason is that the value of the text field is set to JSON representation of the date range. This would obviously look scary to most users. So the user-friendly form is used for the inserted button.

As you can imagine, your feature would require substantial modifications, so it's unlikely to get implemented.
