Hey, I use http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker on the front end.
It's as simple as placing $("#datepicker").datepicker(); inside the page where you want to convert the text fields to date picker fields. I'll you have to do is change the ID inside $("#datepicker").datepicker(); to an ID of your field. e.g. change $("#datepicker").datepicker(); to $("#your_field_id").datepicker(); You can also use a class as a selector if you have multiple fields. To change the format use $("#your_field_id").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' }); or $("#your_field_id").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy' }); in your case I hope that helps!
