The new and improved Date Picker!

In January of 2004 I wrote an article called The JavaScript Date Picker. This was before DMXzone included the code and essential files with your article. The date picker was pretty good, but some people had problems with copying the code and implementing the widget.

Nowadays  you get the whole kit and caboodle when you buy an article. Secondly, while the date picker itself was pretty decent, there were a couple of issues I didn’t like about it. I guess you could say I gave you a foundation but not a whole working widget you could drop into your pages. This article aims to fix that by providing you with an updated, better working calendar which you can drop right into whatever project you are using. Included will not only be the code, but the graphics files, HTML and CSS as well. And you can be sure this is something you can use in production. I just finished implementing this very code into a rather large project in my 9-5 job, and it has been thoroughly tested. (Our QA department is very picky!)

With this new script, I’ll be talking more about what the script does and how it works and a little bit less about the Date object. So if you are rusty or inexperienced with the Date object, you could review the other article as well.
