Zend_Validate_Date takes a standard input format (YYYY/MM/DD, iirc)... but this isn't a good UI. :-) A number of JS libraries allow you to decorate an element as a date picker - I've seen such things in Dojo and YUI, for instance. This might be a simple, viable option that would allow you to use a standard Zend_Form_Element_Text element with the Date validator. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Software Architect | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
