Fast Date Picker

Fast Date Picker is a calendar that is easy to integrate into pages that require the users to select a date (e.g. on travel sites). Written in ECMAScript, it responds faster to the users' clicks than most of the server-side-based or Java-applet-based date pickers often found on travel sites today.

The calendar can be added to your page any way you want (e.g. as a pop-up window or an expandable <div>), and you can integrate it with any type of form fields for selecting dates. In order to perform the integration, you do, however, need experience with ECMAScript - so if new Date() means nothing to you, Fast Date Picker probably isn't what you're looking for.
