JavaScript Drop-Down Date Picker
This script will allow a user to select a date while completing a form. When a user picks a month, the script populates the second pop-up menu with the correct number of days for the selected month.
In February this JavaScript Date Selector contains 29 days. This is because of the leap year in 2008. I will release an update for this script soon.
Example
Script Source
You need to put the following into the <body> tag of your page:
<body onload="document.myForm.months.selectedIndex=0">
<Under the head section>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- Hide script from older browsers
monthDays = new Array(31,29,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31)
function populateDays(monthChosen) {
monthStr = monthChosen.options[monthChosen.selectedIndex].value
if (monthStr !="") {
theMonth=parseInt(monthStr)
document.myForm.days.options.length = 0
for(i=0;i<monthDays[theMonth];i++) {
document.myForm.days.options[i] = new Option(i+1)
}
}
}

</script>
<Under the body section>
