I need a javascript piece to put a popup calendar on an html page so the 
user can pick a date to fill in an input.  Any cool and groovy suggestions 
will be most appreciated, as this is a cool and groovy program.
I thank you,

There are lots available - the trick is to find one that suits your needs.
The one I use allows you to nominate the edit field that it links to, and a
function can be named to handle the interface between the field and the
calendar, accepting parameters which
  a) identify the field to handle
  b) specify the action
  c) the date value

Actions are:
  0 = fetch date from field, assign to calendar
  1 = assign date to field

You should choose on which is at least as flexible, has buttons for fast
movement across days, weeks and months (plus years if you need it), and of
course looks good.

Phil Ide

Well - the one I have suits my needs quite well - with one exception...
did you ever come across a calendar that can be limited to a specific date
range (let's say one specific week)?

The one I use can have a year range specified.  I doubt it would be too much 
trouble to modify it for a date range.

So, you are teasing me!  I do need to nominate the edit field, etc.
Prithee, which calendar do you use and where can a poor, wandering pilgrim 
find such a facination?

I tried replying to your email, but it got bounced (access denied).  So,
for your delectation (and the enjoyment of others):
