Date Picker

Date Picker is a complex jQuery plugin that has been available for a few years now and has become a wide-spread and widely used date picker component in website UIs.

Coming packed with lots of features that cover almost all the customizations a developer might want from his calendar, this component is also easy to use with any Web page, regardless of server-side technology.

Besides the simple calendar view and date selection mechanism, the Date Picker plugin also comes with support for CSS-based skins and localization, allowing programmers to translate it and adapt it to any of their target audience.

A small example is included with the Date Picker download package.
