Interact and dates - is there a datepicker?

[tomanizer]

Hi All,

Is it possible to get a datepicker widget in interact?
Or if there isn't can we create one?

I want the users of my worksheet to be able to select a couple of
dates and then call a function which uses them as input to a
calulation.

Cheers
Thomas

Has anybody ever written a javascript date picker? (Just kiddin';
it's one of the canonical things for people to do...) It would be
great if somebody added one, especially one that was built using the
jquery javascript library. There currently isn't a date picker
interact in sage yet.

Thanks Wiliam.

There actually is a datepicker in jQuery.

How do we get it in there?
