Hi Darren, Thanks for the reply. I was able to use the second calendar. It's actually a lot more powerful (handles time, lets you jump around between months/years), has a more sensible method of attaching calendars to form elements (i.e. the standard Mootools element selector syntax), seems to use less code, *and* doesn't require images, which is a big plus in my book.
It doesn't look like that first calendar has seen any love for a while, so my advice to any and all who have been using that is to migrate over to this one: http://www.monkeyphysics.com/mootools/script/2/datepicker Thanks again, Hairbo On Oct 5, 12:59 pm, Darren <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Hairbo, > > I agree.
