Input field with a trigger button. Clicking the button activates the calendar. Note that this one needs double-click (singleClick parameter is explicitely set to false). Also demonstrates the "step" parameter introduced in 0.9.6 (show all years in drop-down boxes, instead of every other year as default).

Input field with a trigger image. Note that the Calendar.setup function doesn't care if the trigger is a button, image, or anything else. Also in this example we setup a different alignment, just to show how it's done. The input field is read-only (that is set from HTML).

Hidden field, display area. The calendar now puts the date into 2 elements: one is an input field of type "hidden"—so that the user can't directly see or modify it— and one is a <span> element in which the date is displayed. Note that if the trigger is not specified the calendar will use the displayArea (or inputField as in the first example). The display area can have it's own format. This is useful if, for instance, we need to store one format in the database (thus pass it in the input field) but we wanna show a friendlier format to the end-user.

Your birthday: Click to open date selector.

Hidden field, display area, trigger image. Very similar to the previous example. The difference is that we also have a trigger image.

Your birthday: -- not entered -- .

Hidden field, display area. Very much like the previous examples, but we now disable some dates (all weekends, that is, Saturdays and Sundays).

Your birthday: Click to open date selector.
