Fancy MooTools Date Picker

Announcing: SlimPicker
I've recreated this datepicker completely from scratch, using MooTools v1.2. See the demo page or fork it on github.

Note: this uses MooTools v1.11. Here are two different versions of this that people have emailed me which should work with MooTools v1.2, though I haven't tested them:
Emmanuel’s version
Cory Gagliardi’s version

default calendar

calendar with all options

List of All Options and Defaults

dayChars

1

Integer. Number of characters for the day names abbreviation

dayNames

['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday']

Array. If you have a multi-language site, use this option to set it based on the user's language.

daysInMonth

[31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31]

Array. I'm not sure if people use calendars with different days, but there it is if you need it.

format

'mm/dd/yyyy'

String. The script will use a regular expression to replace this with the date.

monthNames

['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December']

Array. Set it based on the user's language.

startDay

7

Integer. 1 makes the week start on Monday, and 7 makes it start on Sunday

yearOrder

'asc'

String. Only other valid choice is 'desc'. This is the direction the year dropdown will go, starting from your yearStart, and counting through your yearRange.

yearRange

10

Integer. This how many years the dropdown list will include, starting from your yearStart setting.

yearStart

current year

Integer. Enter the four-digit year, like 1980. This will be where the dropdown list will start, and continue up or down depending on your yearOrder setting.
