Does anyone know of a Prototype/Script.aculo.us based popup calendar? I''m looking for something that supports both popup and stationary placement, is lightweight, simple and elegant, is very flexible with event handling, supports user specified date formats like "%m-%d-%y" and doesn''t leak memory like an 80yr old crack addict with alzheimers (will be crated and destroyed one one page possibly many times). The only one I''ve found that meets most of those requirements has a horrible interface and is incredibly heavy, slow and buggy.. Dojo has a nice one but I want to stick to purely Prototype-based stuff for the time being. If you''ve personally made something like this I''d love to see it as well!

Re: SAU Date Picker widget
http://script.spinelz.org/datepicker.html This site has more nice prototype based widgets.

First, I''m curious about the one you found that you thought was too heavy. (I''m kinda hoping you don''t say Dynarch, because I like it. ;-) --- For what it''s worth, I use a personal fork of the code at http://datebocks.inimit.com/ for my date and time selection needs. I changed it so that it plays nice with prototype and has an object-oriented interface. It should be noted that DateBocks uses the Dynarch calendar for the actual date (and time!) selection widget, so Dynarch is the one that should really be getting most of the credit for the code. See http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ for the details. All DateBocks does is make it so that you can type human-readable dates like "last tuesday" or "tomorrow" into a text field and have that magically turn into a properly formatted date onchange(). I think it''s kind of unfortunate that he packaged DateBocks up as a rails engine, because it''s really just a Javascript library, and it makes it hard for non-rails users to try out. Non-rails users end up having to check it out from subversion and digging for the javascript source. The subversion repository for that is at: http://svn.toolbocks.com/plugins/datebocks_engine for anyone who is interested. PS: My personal fork of DateBocks can be found as the last attachment on this page: http://dev.toolbocks.com/tickets/2 . I like it more than the official one, but I may be biased. ;-) .

Yes, dynarch... not to mention it gives errors occasionally in FF
(moving your mouse over the calendar will occasionally throw unhandled
exceptions). But I have to admit it is the best I''ve found.
I''ll check
out your personal DateBocks fork.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
