I am using a wohyperlink to open a new browser window that displays a
calendar (one month only).  I would like the user to select a date
(wohyperlink) from the calendar and return the selected date to
referring
page.

There are a number of free JavaScript calendars that implement

selecting a date.  The DHTML/JavaScript Calendar (<http://
www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/>) seems to be one of the most
versatile.  An important bonus is that it has been tested with many
different browsers including Safari and it works with WebObjects.
Using such a pre-built calendar might be your best solution.

Hi -

I will look into the suggested link and try to implement the calendar.
This may require a few more questions from this newbie.

A couple of additional questions if you don't mind:

Is JavaScript the best way to implement a popup calendar or should I
use a calendar web component in my application?

JavaScript will give a more responsive user experience (ie: no page refresh required for changing months/years). I also means you are not trying to spawn new pages and have them communicate with each other which can get confusing. ProjectWonder has ERXEditDateJavascript which you might want to look at for ideas on implementation.

Do you have any pointers on how to pass information from an element in one window to an element in another separate window within the same app?

I usually try and avoid this kind of UI if I can help it. So I don't have any pointers.
