I am looking for a popup calendar that will permit visitors to select a date and pass the data into a form on the main page. The main page will have an arrival and departure date. For an example view hotels.com ... or just about any other booking/travel site. I believe the hotels.com example is utilizing java server pages - and I’d assume that file is associated with a javascript file and an html file, but I don’t know for sure.

The calendar should popup with the current date selected and previous days should not be selectable. When the arrival date is selected the departure date should automatically update to the following day with the popup displaying the "selected" day. Once the user has selected the arrival date the departure date popup will not allow users to click on dates prior to the arrival date and visa versa if the later was chosen first.

I would be content with a basic html style popup like on hotels.com however a dhtml popup would be sweet.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated – thanks.

Hmm, I can't imagine that something like this to some extent doesn't already exist but can't think of anything off the top of my head. Have you searched script resources already and come across anything that even kind of fits the bill?

Hi Crosslinked,

Did you find anything? I have a similar problem that is DOING MY HEAD IN. What I want seems so logical but I don´t have the brains to do it myself and can´t find a pop in package anywhere.

Simply on an accommodation reservation form the user selects one of several properties from a drop down field, then goes on to select arrival and departure dates from pop up calendars. If dates are already booked they are blanked out on the calander and the user cannot select them.

Any input would be much appreciated.

There must be something using PHP for doing that.

Hi Crosslinked, did you ever find a solution at all? Just spent literally 2 weeks trying to do this and still can't ;-( How did you do with it?

All the best.

Saz.

That sounds like custom programming to me, that solution isn't generic, that's why you can't find a popin solution.

The reason you see that on for example hotels.com is that they paid somebody to create it, that's all it takes if you don't have the skills to do the project yourself.
