Does anyone know of any Prototype based time picker script out there?
I found this, which is pretty much what I'm after, but for mootools:

If not, is there a way to make mootools play nice with prototype? Even
worth the effort?

I was looking around for something like this last week, but I decided
against it.  Dragging something to a precise time is more difficult
than just entering it.  I expect that the users will ultimately
dislike it.

This example was a bit flaky too.  I found I could drag the handles
off the clock, and the drag effect was not really that reliable.  Even
if it were perfectly smooth, I think there's a reason we have not seen
a draggable (is that the correct spelling?) time widget in desktop
applications.

Yeah I noticed the same thing after playing around with it a little
more. I think I'm just going to go with hour/minute dropdowns.

This might be helpful -- http://www.datejs.com -- because you can
just type anything close to a date in one (focus-able) field and let
the script figure it out. I find the separate pickers to be a UI
nightmare, because they really require the use of the mouse.

Now that's a snappy widget!
