I know it's not the fashion now, but the jQuery UI date picker works really well, can be configured for various situations And let's you type the date instead.
I wrote code on the back-end to also parsing. So just type 11 for the 11th of this month, or 11/11 for 11 Nov this year. Or 11 Nov. Or next Tuesday. Or tomorrow of yesterday etc.
It also only treats the screen format as a suggestion. Like it wants dd/mm/yyyy, you can type in 1945/12/6 and it'll figure it out. (it uses the suggested format to resolve ambiguities)
Computers are good at this, and should do more if it. Don't get me started on Web sites that reject my credit card number because I type in hyphens or spaces. With specific messages like
"enter the number as 16 digits, without spaces". WTF????
