How to implement a calendar in HTML?

Question

I have a web application that uses HTML and Javascript. I want to create a textbox that allows to user to enter in a keyword and submit it. I also want a little calendar icon next to the textbox so the user can click on it to popup a calendar to select a date as the keyword, and then submit that.

I have tried to implement Jcalendar and DatePicker but couldn't get either one working.

Is there something that I can use that will meet my needs? Thank you!

Answer 1

The easiest way is jQuery's Date Picker. One line of code....done.

<script type="text/javascript">
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
</script>
