'--------------------
Copy this code and save it as
"Date-Picker.js"

Now, on your forms use this code

Use any image you find suitable for a calendar that you can place next to the field where the data selected will be entered. and attach this piece of code to it, replacing the name of your field.

<a href="javascript:show_calendar('form1.THE-FIELD-NAME-HERE');" onmouseover="window.status='TYPE-WHAT-U-WANT-2-SHOW-IN-STATUS-BAR-HERE';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;"><img src="Images/calendar.gif" width=24 height=22 border=0></a>

[/color]

'--------------------
And lastly put this code within the head of your document
<script language="JavaScript" src="date-picker.js"></script>

There you go.
