Date Selector: a simple javascript web component

Date SelectorFuture 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 box zip file. There are free and paid versions (of course, there almost always are), the free version having a small link to Future Shock Software on the bottom of the component. One of the easier date pickers to implement that we've run across, and one I personally will be using again in other projects mostly because it is easy and quick.

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?
