Does anyone know of any Prototype based time picker script out there? I found this, which is pretty much what I''m after, but for mootools: http://www.webappers.com/2007/11/19/free-javascript-time-picker-with-mootools/ If not, is there a way to make mootools play nice with prototype? Even worth the effort? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

I was looking around for something like this last week, but I decided against it. Dragging something to a precise time is more difficult than just entering it. I expect that the users will ultimately dislike it. This example was a bit flaky too. I found I could drag the handles off the clock, and the drag effect was not really that reliable. Even if it were perfectly smooth, I think there''s a reason we have not seen a draggable (is that the correct spelling?) time widget in desktop applications.

Yeah I noticed the same thing after playing around with it a little more. I think I''m just going to go with hour/minute dropdowns.

This might be helpful -- http://www.datejs.com -- because you can just type anything close to a date in one (focus-able) field and let the script figure it out. I find the separate pickers to be a UI nightmare, because they really require the use of the mouse.
