This is great, but could use a small tweak: Once you select a start date, it should grey out the dates before the selection in both calendars. That will make it easier to pick an end date that's valid. And vice versa for the end date.


If you're looking for an alternative with this feature, I modified a datepicker a while ago to do just that:

Yeah right, you expect me to believe that students ever go to class in San Marvelous?

Kidding, sort of. I didn't attend too often :|


Being from Wimberley, I can attest- it is rather difficult to get things done. I've still got a year or so left before I'm free. Glad to see our CS dept has some presence somewhere, eh?


Indeed! I begrudgingly moved to Austin a few years ago.


seems the demo doesn't work for me due to js errors. However, seems https://github.com/eternicode/bootstrap-datepicker is good for single datepicker.


Hmm, browser specs + errors? I have it running in production for about 400+ developers and no one has filed a bug, yet. Thanks for the heads up!


And it would automatically do what I was about to suggest - highlight the selected range.


In this same vein, I encountered a bug when I was picking a date after the default selected end date in Chrome 12.0.742.112. Essentially, I couldn't actually select the date. It wouldn't take.

The expected behavior is that I could not only select a date, but the "end date" calendar should jump to at least whatever month-year I selected my start date at if the selected start date comes after the selected end date. Even nicer if you tie the event to the month selection so that the end date calendar's minimum month-year is the furthest point the start date's month-year calendar has gone.


Slightly off-topic: why are you using/testing on a Chrome version that was released more than a year ago?


I would be more interested in "how". Chrome updates automatically. So how does he/she avoid auto update?

This has links on how to do this on a Mac as well.

Ofcourse, Linux is more easily controlled especially if you aren't running a package-manager installed version of Chrome.


> Chrome updates automatically. So how does he/she avoid auto update?

Kill the auto-update daemon, remove it, prevent it from re-installing itself (by creating an empty "GoogleSoftwareUpdate" directory with write bits unset in place of the removed one). Done.


I have the EXACT same problem and I came here to see how many more people were running into this wall ... the thing is: I'm using Chrome's latest version (21.0.1180.82) ... is this a bug ?
