How do I use a calendar to pick a date on a web page?
I have a html page that contains startdate and enddate as custom inputs. I need to allow the user to select this data from the calendar, instead of requiring the user to enter dates. Is there anything you can suggest to help?
EDIT:
I have a HTML page:
StartDate: yyyy-mm-dd EndDate: yyyy-mm-dd
Currenly these two fields are text fields.
I would like to implement this with a calendar control where the user can select any date from the calendar.

By the way, you should be more clear and specific when asking your question.

I think that after you start using controls like this, you should move on to using javascript libraries.
I recommend you jquery or YUI (you have more: prototype, mootools, etc.)
Specifically for the calendar control, you can use YUI , they have a special js for that. After downloading YUI, you can find it here: /yui/build/calendar-min.js and you have a very good example along the way: / yui / examples / calendar.
The method you use to create it: new YAHOO.widget.Calendar ("cal", "calendario", {LOCALE_WEEKDAYS: "1char", START_WEEKDAY: 1, mindate: "1/1/2008"});
If you prefer jquery, here's the calendar control:

If you are on ASP.NET you can use this one; http://ra-ajax.org/samples/Ajax-Calendar.aspx
I am working for Ra-Ajax BTW ...
