Javascript Date Selector v.3 (free v3.11 - 01/08/2006, licensed v3.15 - 01/08/2008)
Download your free Date Selector or buy our fully-featured licensed version.
|
Say goodbye to clumsy date fields on forms with our intuitive Javascript Date Selector.
Version 3 can be easily implemented in English, French, German or Spanish, and can be configured for use with any other language.
(NB in the free date selector, only dates that are within 6 months of today's date can be selected. This is not the case with the licensed version.).
Easy to Implement
As with all our software, our Date Selector is designed to be as easy to use as possible.
When you download it, you will receive one javascript source file, all of the necessary images, a demo HTML page and a set of easy to follow instructions.
It usually takes under 5 minutes to add Date Selector to your pages, even if you know nothing about Javascript.
However, if you do have any problems, then support is available via our forums.

Compatibility
The Date Selector / Calendar is XHTML compliant and it is compatible with both ISO and UTF-8 encodings. It has been tested successfully with the following JavaScript enabled browsers:
| PC (WinXP) |
Internet Explorer 4/5/5.5/6/7, Netscape 4.78/7, Mozilla Firefox 1.04/2/3, Opera 7.53/9, Safari |
| Mac (OS9) |
Internet Explorer 5.1, Netscape 7.1 |
| Mac (OSX) |
Internet Explorer 5.2, Netscape 7.2, Mozilla Firefox 1.04/3, Safari |
| * Internet Explorer 4 will only display one or two Date Selector fields per page. |
Older JavaScript enabled browsers such as Netscape 4, Internet Explorer 4 and 5.0, and Safari below version 3 will run the Date Selector in "legacy mode" - no popup selector
will be displayed, but a type-in box is provided for date entry... any text entered into this field will be validated to ensure it is a real date in the correct format.
Safari 3 is fully supported in the licensed version but currently runs in "legacy mode" in the free version.
