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. ;-) .
