I've done nothing with javascript, but done enough to be dangerous with 
php, and needed the calendar function to replace a tedious 'enter your 
own box'
on an existing page, where i'd already got the code to submit it in my 
mysql database. Didn't want to have to work out how to get the js code 
to submit
it, tho that seems easier enough, the js in the datepicker I have is 
purely to pass it over, so seems trivial enough.

i know... since I'd written 'javascript in full at one end of the 
sentence, i figured that people would work out I was being lazy at the 
other end and not typing it in full again ;-)
