This jQuery plugin makes it easy to add date and time selection to single textfield inputs.

jQuery("input.dateField").dynDateTime();

This example will make all input elements tagged with the 'dateField' class. There are plenty of options for configuration; see details in documentation.

The options (and plenty of code) are taken from the calendar-setup.js, and most options (all, except top 3 listed below)
are unchanged from the original Dynarch code. For full docs, see:

    http://www.dynarch.com/demos/jscalendar/doc/html/reference.html#node_sec_2.3

Changed opts  | description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
displayArea   | (String) relative jQuery traverse method(s); find first element and show the date in it. eg ".siblings('div.dispArea')"  
button        | (String) relative jQuery traverse method(s); find first element and bind show/hide event for calendar. eg ".siblings('button')"
flat          | (String) relative jQuery traverse method(s); find first element and place the flat calendar within. eg ".parent().siblings('div.flatCal')"

The above all use jQuery traverse methods as detailed here: http://docs.jquery.com/Traversing

It is a fork of Dynarch.com's (LGPL) DHTML Calendar v1.0, and the initial codebase is little more then a jQuery wrapper.

The fork source is wonderful tool that ceased LGPL development in 2005.
