javascipt date-picker
June 28th, 2007
For a while now I’ve been tinkering away creating a date-picker in javascript.
JSCalendar has served me well until now, but I can’t help but feel that I must be able to make something that does enough for what I want, without it being as big. I use prototype.js with everything, so I wanted to see how much smaller a prototype-based date-picker, that maintains as much (useful) functionality as possible, could be.
I don’t yet have anything that I want to show off, but I figured that writing something here might just give me that motivation to do the necessary tidying that will be required to let it out into the wild.
Is there anyone reading who has found JSCalendar (or similar things) lacking in any way that I could perhaps address? The main point of my endeavours (aside from being a learning excercise) is to avoid unnecessary bloat, and to create just enough for what I want, but you might just have something that I decide I want.
