DatePicker should override the Native HTML5 DatePicker

[Montago]

I'm writing my pages in ASP.NET MVC4 with HTML5, Razor, Modernizr and Jquery and JqueryUI enabled.

I've run into troubles with especially the DatePicker.

my input-field is generated by MVC and decorated by JqueryUI and thus ill end up with a TYPE=DATE which invokes the Chrome 21 HTML5 Native DatePicker

Idealy i would like that JQueryUI would override the native datepicker because JQUI already carry the style im using for my site - i dont want to use the native picker.

could this be done ?

There is no clean way to do this. I've petitioned browser vendors to make this possible, but it's already been pulled out of CSS and i don't have much hope for this being easy in the next few years.
