JQuery alertnative for "Timeframe" (date range selection)

Question

I am trying to find a date ranger collector for jQuery.

At first I found a jQuery Tools solution that looked absolutely perfect, but unfortunately didn’t work in IE6, which is by far the most used browser here.

Then I found a good range choice in jQuery , but it seems quite limited as to what it returns in Javascript (I want both a start date, an end date, and calculating the days between them). A.

Then my attention turned to Timeframe , which once looked like the perfect solution, allowing you to clearly see that it selected the date, and also allowing you to click and drag between dates. Problem; it uses a prototype that I cannot use here (only jQuery or plain JavaScript!)

If anyone knows about any solutions that meet my needs, I would really appreciate it, thank you.

ps. I tried the standard jQuery date range selection , but found it to be very clumsy, bloated and not relevant to my requirements, unfortunately.

Old question, but for arrivals from google ... another alternative is http://reaktor.github.com/jquery-continuous-calendar/src/example.html http://reaktor.github.com/jquery-continuous-calendar /

It allows you to easily drag and drop hilighting after many months (via the scroll) and is based on jQuery. NTN

Note to OP, this plugin does not work in IE6.

I do not understand your question, but have you looked at JQueryUI and the datpicker?
