Jquery datepicker as popup?

Question

I am very new to jquery and only basic experience with javascript.

I would like an html input that when clicked would make the JQuery datepicker popup, which would fill in the html input. http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker

Can someone give me an example on how to accomplish this or give me a link that will point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Use the jQuery UI datapicker. It is very use to add and very easy for a user to use.

http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/

<script>
$(function() {
    $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
});
</script>



<div class="demo">

<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"/></p>

</div><!-- End demo -->
