I presume we will need to run this pass the Incubation sponsors to see if this concept will fly.

JS Calendar Replacements

Potential JS Calendar replacements are listed below. The advantage of using a replacement calendar is that there is no developer build step required (which is a pretty big advantage). However one issue with these widgets is their large size 150-250KB.

YUI Calendar

One contender is YUI Calendar http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/calendar/ which has a BSD license.

This widget unfortunately has quite large dependencies 250KB.

The Interval Selection calendar is quite impressive. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/calendar/intervalcal.html

There appears to be no time support.

jQuery DatePicker

Another contender is jQuery DatePicker http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/ which has a MIT and LGPL license.

The restrict date range looks very handy, there are lots of display options, including multiple month displays

This widget unfortunately has quite large dependencies 155.58 kb, minimised

There appears to be no time support.

CalendarDateSelect

Another option is CalendarDateSelect http://electronicholas.com/calendar which has a MIT license.

This control has time support, but has a JS dependency on the prototype library which could potentially impact JS code using the jquery library.
