Every JS date picker I'm aware of populates a form field.  Just submit 
the form containing that field, and you'll get the data you want. 
There's nothing magical about it.

There's really nothing to document, provided you understand how forms 
are submitted in Rails.

Not really.  Rails provides a few canned Ajax helpers (that probably 
should be avoided in any case -- or used with lowpro -- since they 
generate inline JS), and deals nicely with XML and JSON requests, but 
that's about it.  (I've done complex Ajax development, but never with 
Rails.)

No, I think you're looking for an explanation of something that's too 
trivial for most people to write about.
