MooTools / JavaScript Popup Calendar / Date Picker for HTML Forms
MooTools 1.1:
If you’re using MooTools 1.1 on a project here is a great MooTools based calendar / date picker popup for use in HTML forms. It is very easy to get running and also to customize. Both the style and position of the calendar can easily be modified. The author also has good instructions and a few examples available on the website.

MooTools 1.2:
If you’re using MooTools 1.2 on a project here is a great MooTools based calendar / date picker popup for use with HTML forms. This system is fairly easy to get running but requires PHP and uses MooTools Ajax to function. If you are not using PHP it won’t be too useful. The author has some good examples and instructions on his website.

If you are not using MooTools:
If you are not using MooTools here is a great JavaScript calendar popup example. It is fairly easy to implement and seems to function well. It is a bit more difficult to customize than some of the alternative options but it still looks nice. The author has a lot of examples on his website.

Thanks for providing the links.
The mootools 1.1 is good but one down side is the user cannot type into the text field, only select a date from the popup which doesn’t allow them to also specify the time if you want to use it for a ‘post date / time’ field for example.
The 1.2 calendar is really, really good, but the code isn’t quite a near to implement, but also lacks a ‘time picker’ aswell as just a calnedar.. which i think should be incorporated into 1 little popout.
Anyway, thanks for the links !
i’d seriously recommend the recently released datepicker at
http://www.monkeyphysics.com/mootools/script/2/datepicker
it’s not using ajax, which makes it much easier and faster to use… and the animations are great and functional
These are very nice! Thanks for the link.
