Date Selector: a simple javascript web component
by Ryan Carter Apr 2nd 2007 at 9:00AM
Future Shock Software has a great component that quickly makes a field on your web page date-pickable. A simple line of javascript in your <head> tag and one line wherever you want the date picker in your page (preferably in the <body> tag), and you're done. We love the quick and dirty-ness of this script, and yes there are tons of scripts out there that do the same thing, but this one works right out of the
Is there a better date picker you use in web dev projects we should know about, or another approach you would recommend other than using a "canned" date picker?

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
