Which is the easiest to use/select date of birth?

+3  A: 

A simple text input and server side code (possibly duplicated on the client) that can parse various date formats and prompt the user to disambiguate entries such as 01/02/03.

Sounds about right. I'm also a proponent of the classic three-selects-side-by-side technique. +1

They can be fiddly, and are often implemented very poorly (i.e. given `Month: [----\/]` it isn't possible to tell (before you start to experiment) if you have to type `6`, `06` or `Ju` to skip down to June.)
