Hey Guys,
I am looking for a good datechooser that works with
prototype. I''ve seen a few other approaches but they''re such
a mess,
who''s got some clean code to create a simple JS based datechooser?
Cheers,
Matt

at the risk of sounding like a total newb i''m not sure what you mean by "stay in the same DOM" if you looked at more than the first example you''ll see that not all of them create popup windows.

Hey Brian,
What i meant by stay in the DOM was to say that i don''t want to
access anything higher than the document object. pop ups have been a
very common red flag for me in my quest for the right datechooser.
I''ll have to take another look at your example, and see how to
customize.

I just had an idea, this is by no means a suggestion to the core API but... Wouldn''t it be nice to have an extension of the Range class to handle a Range of Dates, that could certainly help the implementation of a date chooser!

Update on that idea, i took a look into some innards of the Range
object, it uses a succ method to find the next successive value
between the ranges. It was really easy to implement my idea of a date
range object, i just extended the Date.prototype to have a succ method
to increase by one day. That is certainly debatable but its exactly
what I need. Check it out
Date.prototype.succ = function(){
var ret = new Date(this.getTime());
ret.setDate(this.getDate() + 1);
return ret;
}
and then viola you should send two date objects to the $R function and
you get a great little enumerable to step through a series of date
objects!

This has been discussed more than once, and the core team always says
that date functions are not something everybody needs, so they are not
meant for core (heavy date logic is meant for the server).
Anyway, by the magic of ObjectRange, you already have date ranges :D
All you need to do is implement Date.prototype.succ to return the
"next" element in the range.
So, for example
Date.prototype.succ = function() {
return new Date(this.getFullYear(), this.getMonth(), this.getDate() + 1);
}
will return "tomorrow", and you can do
var start = new Date();
var end = new Date(this.getFullYear(), this.getMonth(), this.getDate() + 7);
$R(start, end) will then generate all the dates in this week.
Best,
-Nicolas

Hey Everyone,
I had been looking for an implementation of a date chooser.
Many were close but I was really looking for something
more...declouped. So i ended up taking a new approach, maybe because
im left handed. What I wanted to do was build up the functionality of
a grid and then stack on top of that the Calendar behavior. This is
accomplished in a series of abstract javascript classes to form a
fantastic implementation that uses an event dispatching mechanism to
notify the interface of a date selection. Check it out if you''re
interested in a very decoupled date chooser
http://positionabsolute.net/blog/2007/09/javascript-date-chooser.php
Cheers,
Matt
