I’ll release a new version of calendarPicker integrating some of your suggestions soon.

As feedback, I’d say the day arrows could be repurposed as week skippers, rather than navigating 4 days backwards or forwards as they currently do. The arrow said to me “Go to next Tuesday” and it was a bit surprising when instead it skipped to 4 days later. Maybe a similar mechanism could scratch the six month itch raised above, although that may mess with the aesthetics too much.

Overall, though, great work!

OK I’m done flooding your comments :)

The only thing that bug me a bit is the arrows for moving along the displayed date range. I think it’s intuitive but not “fun” to use.

It takes between 6 ans 8 clicks to get through a whole month.. maybe some mousewheel support ? :)

Cheers !

I remember having a hard time making the datepicker appear from a normal link, instead of the input field focus.

Thanks for sharing it. At the risk of suggesting something that would make it no longer ultra-light, I think it would be really interesting to add support for the mousewheel plugin ( http://plugins.jquery.com/project/mousewheel ) for each of the three sections. That was one of my first instincts when I saw the thumbnail as well as when I played with the demo. Anyway, great job.
