Hi,

Can someone suggest a good implementation for the calendar date picker  
dialog.  
We have been using the DHTML Calendar till now but that is not working  
well. When we have a scroll bar inside the page, then the calendar  
doesnt position itself properly.

There are a few here [http://www.railslodge.com/tags/all/Calendar](http://www.railslodge.com/tags/all/Calendar)  
however I would normally go with Calendar Date Select, depending on what  
I need to do with it.

+2 on calendardateselect. It’s fairly attractive and well integrated  
with Rails.
