Can someone point me in the right direction?  

I want to include the DatePicker as a sub-widget in my custom widget.  Is 
there any documentation/examples/advice that you could point me to that might 
help me with this?

I am not sure if I should: 
  1)include the sub-widget as part of my template (not working as of yet), 
    or
  2)instantiate the sub-widget as part of my fillInTemplate() function and 
then insert the widget into my DOM tree. If so, what method should I use to 
insert the widget? innerHTML?

Sorry if this is painfully obvious to everyone.

Thank you for your time!
