Entering dates on an HTML form

Using a graphical calendar instead of fields

I have a flat file database manager application that auto generates the HTML forms to enter data. I'd like to replace the individual fields for year, month and day with a calendar where you click on the day you want. The user might have to cycle through the months but other than that, they just click on the day.

I've been googling looking for something that will do this and everything I've found is javascript or something that won't work with straight HTML.

Does anybody out there use some sort of graphical calendar to allow users to enter dates in an HTML form?

Well... after looking around some more if figured out this is officially called a "date picker" and it looks like I have to use javascript for this.

It's now just a matter of picking one of the 289 possible products to do the job.
