[SalesForce] Apex:input date with only month and year

I have a visual force page with an apex controller. In the controller I have a variable Date date1. In the page I have an <apex:input type="date" value="{!date1}"/>. Everything works fine.

Now I need to have only a month-year selector, no day has to be showed. One option could be to use instead two number input, or a picklist (for months) and a number (for the year) but I'd like to mantain a calendar standard element.

Is there any way?

You would need to use jQuery to achieve that.
The following jsFiddle has a working example. http://jsfiddle.net/bopperben/DBpJe/

[SalesForce] Can Date Field have only Month & Year

Without using @Ray Dehler suggestion to use a jQuery hack, I think you'd need to try creating a dependent picklist which would wind up being another hack of sorts, especially if you needed the data to still be in proper Date Format.

If you did that, you'd end up where you had a final multi-select picklist (for days) where the values would then need to be assembled with year and month using a formula to put them into date format. I don't think that would be a very efficient use of the database nor would it be particularly user friendly.

[SalesForce] HTML5 input type number for decimals

<apex:page standardController="Object" doctype="html-5.0">
<apex:input type="Number" html-step="any" Value="yourValue"/>
</apex:page>

Be sure to specify doctype="html-5.0" and the html-step="any" in order to have decimals in the html number input.
