The search for a datepicker…

I am busy working on a very interesting project with a client and I have implemented some of the most unique and funkiest features using Mootools, Prototype and other javascript functionalities. We have also for the 1st time used ajax which makes the site an ease to use for any type of visitor.

Even though this website is being built in twice the amount of hours I know it will all pay off in the end.

But now my dilemma…

I need a date picker that works great!? But what is great? How does the visitor’s mind work?
Do they want to use the all to old dropdowns for year, month and date or do they want to see a calendar?

So this morning I went to my favorite web apps website called Webappers and had a look at their Calendars category and I found a few I listed below:

This one is called Calendar and runs with Mootools:

This one is my personal favorite (DateJS) because you can almost type in your date in any order:

Choices, choices… Well I’m gonna have to make one within the next couple of minutes…
