namespace errors given if id value has any dots (".") in it.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a control to the form with an id value containing a dot
2. Try to use the control.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Popup calendar should be shown. Instead, errors appear in the JavaScript
console.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1alpha4

Please provide any additional information below.
Firefox 2.x

The parser should replace dots in ID values (and any other reserved or
meaningful JavaScript characters) before injecting into the JavaScript.

Developers, this can be corrected by editing DatePicker.java (Lines 156 - 166)
setters for id and name. Just pass them through the 
YUITools.sanitizeForJavascript
method as shown below:

    @Override
    @StrutsTagAttribute(description = "Used as HTML id attribute", required = true)
    public void setId(String id) {
        super.setId(YUITools.sanitizeForJavascript(id));
    }

    @Override
    @StrutsTagAttribute(description = "Name of the field that will cotainf the date
value", required = true)
    public void setName(String name) {
        super.setName(YUITools.sanitizeForJavascript(name));
    }

I have made the change and tested it in my local environment. The
sanitizeForJavascript method already replaces dots with underscores, so you 
have what
you need.
