First, I'm curious about the one you found that you thought was too
heavy.  (I'm kinda hoping you don't say Dynarch, because I like it.
;-)

For what it's worth, I use a personal fork of the code at
http://datebocks.inimit.com/ for my date and time selection needs.  I
changed it so that it plays nice with prototype and has an
object-oriented interface.

It should be noted that DateBocks uses the Dynarch calendar for the
actual date (and time!) selection widget, so Dynarch is the one that
should really be getting most of the credit for the code.  See
http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ for the details.

All DateBocks does is make it so that you can type human-readable
dates like "last tuesday" or "tomorrow" into a text field and have
that magically turn into a properly formatted date onchange().

I think it's kind of unfortunate that he packaged DateBocks up as a
rails engine, because it's really just a Javascript library, and it
makes it hard for non-rails users to try out.  Non-rails users end up
having to check it out from subversion and digging for the javascript
source.  The subversion repository for that is at:
http://svn.toolbocks.com/plugins/datebocks_engine for anyone who is
interested.

PS:  My personal fork of DateBocks can be found as the last attachment
on this page:  http://dev.toolbocks.com/tickets/2 .  I like it more
than the official one, but I may be biased.  ;-) .
