I am using the rails gem and want to have the calendar pop up when the
user clicks the text field. I know that using the :popup => 'force'
with make the text field read only but it doesn't pop the calendar
unless you click the image. Is there an option to do that or do I
need to just manually add some javascript that adds an observer on the
text field?

You're not the first one to request this. With out any changes to the plugin, you'll have to craft the javascript to open the picker yourself.
This would be a great opportunity for refactoring.

Thanks. Could you point me in the right direction to where I would
modify the plugin to include the extra javascript? If that would take
some work on your part, just let me know. I figured I would ask
before diving into the code searching myself.

Just take a look at the onclick attribute of a generated calendar date select control. It's pretty straightforward. Just take that javascript code and put in on the text field. Oh, and the change the $(this).previous() to just $(this)... like so:
FROM THIS: new CalendarDateSelect( $(this).previous(), {year_range:10} );
TO THIS: new CalendarDateSelect( this, {year_range:10} );
Good luck!

Tim,
Is there an easy way to install CDS as a plugin? I would much rather
modify the code as a plugin so I don't have to worry about
distributing the changes to other machines.

Sure is!
If using git, add it as a submodule into vendor/plugins. Or just clone it in there and delete the .git directory.

Thanks for the help. I added a :auto_pop option. If you would like
to incorporate this changes into a future release let me know and I am
happy to send them along in whatever format is easiest for you.
