Trying to find a (jquery?) popup date/time selector with callback to php

Question

I have a large table with input boxes.

Three columns of these are dates/times (in unix format).

Im trying to find an easy to implement way of allowing the user to click on this box, being able to (graphically) select a date/time, and when done, sending the selection to a php script to make the physical changes of the data. (i can convert the date/time back to unix from here if necessary).

The caveat is that each input is named dynamically according to its row number.

Here is my script where i output the date fields

}elseif(in_array($j, array(19,33,54))){
    echo "<td><input type=text value=\"$value\" name=\"date$j\" class=med></td></td>";

Answer 1

Try to integrate the jQuery datepicker, but what you need to do is some kind of ajax call to the PHP!

Answer 2

jQuery UI datepicker supports a great number of options and events including an on-select event. It's also possible to have a datepicker attached to a hidden input with a separate activation control, so there's no problem at all with using it for AJAX.
