+1 to this, particularly as the only way out of an accidental first selection is to close and re-open the datepicker. As an additional sweetener, it would be great if the unset date defaulted to today's date (i.e. if a user selects only a start date, the end date gets set to today and vice versa). Many thanks Marc and Keith for an excellent plugin.

I was just looking through the code & noticed my "a config option to turn off the day-of-the-week links" feature request is already implemented. Nice! I missed it in the option documentation.

@Micha - If you look closer at popwincal & the differences, I think it's a bit more complicated than that. I agree with Graeme - the thing I like best about popwincal is the simpler/slicker header area, mainly the fact that popwincal fits the important date controls onto one, clean thin control area. Granted some changes like the colors, images for next/prev & removing the calendar borders is easy via CSS like you mentioned, and a few of the the other differences like 3-letter day abbreviations can be accomplished through Datepicker config options. However Popwincal does not use select boxes for the month & year dropdowns which would make styling those items a lot more flexible. Also the way the Datepicker html is coded, there's a container div wrapped around the month/year section that also includes the calendar table, which makes it nearly impossible to cleanly arrange the prev/ next controls in the same horizontal area as the month/year control, like popwincal has. Some feature requests & other comments: - a few config options for the positioning behavior would be great, to control: 1) where the calendar flys out (i.e. to the side of the trigger element rather than below) & 2) enable/disable the auto- reposition based on available screen area. - a config option to turn off the day-of-the-week links. Neat feature but it seems to me like a lot of users would click on a day header by accident & find the reorganized calendar confusing. Thanks for the plugin, awesome job.

I just have a small usuability suggestion for a future release In the "Date Range" implementation, make it so you could pick the either start or end date at any time... so just say a user choses "Nov 20th" first, then selects "Nov 5th" (whcih currently isn't possible as it "locks out" previous dates), it should be an easy check to flip-flop the dates so the first selection is the end date and the second selection is the begin Just a suggestion to a top notch date picker
[jQuery] RE: jQuery UI Datepicker v3.0 Released! (Previously named jQuery Calendar)
@Stefan: datepicker({ firstDay: 1 });
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker/datepicker#options
Click the options tab here to see the 30+ customization option:
@Dan: The animation snap back occurs when you have drastically different
datepickers on the same page. Typically this wouldn't happen because you
would only use one type of datepicker on most applications.
@Graeme: Click the stylesheet tab on the demo - the datepicker is easy to
style with CSS.

For a complete list of customization options go here and click the
options tab:
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker/datepicker#options
@Dan: That happens when you render multiple months datepicker and
only one month in the next datepicker. Typically you would only have
one type of datepicker on the page and you wouldn't ever see the
animation "snap back".
