Show HN: A simple, customizable, lightweight (3.5KB) date picker for jQuery

  • Looks good, I like how simple the default UI is. A couple if issues I found (Google Chrome on Win XP):

    - The first time you click the next arrow the datepicker closes and opens again.

    - Unselectable dates have the loading (hourglass) mouse pointer, not sure if that's deliberate, it feels wrong.

    Overall I think its a great first time jQuery plugin.

  • It sounds awesome - small, customizable datepicker, but nothing shows up for me in chrome for Mac.

  • Matt,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    The first comment, it was actually a bug that I noticed last night and fixed it. The reason it did that was because I put in a .blur() event on the input and when you try to click the Next/Prev, the focus being lost would cause it to hide. I think it should be fine now after fixing it.

    Yes the "wait" cursor was deliberate although it's easily controlled by changing the .gldp-XXX-noday style to not have cursor:wait (where XXX is whatever you name your style)

  • Version 1.1 is out.

    Fixed a major issue with the last date being incorrectly set if it was selected.

    Also added an option to set the currently selected date either as a date or an offset from start date. The selected date is also shown in the calendar with a different style.
