Yet another attempt writing a datePicker (calendar) that is accessible using the keyboard, requires no embedded JavaScript blocks, uses no pop-up windows and is suitable for use within documents served as application/xhtml+xml.
This version can almost be described as a complete rewrite as so much of the code base has changed between v4 and v5.
About the component
This component is a light-weight calendar/date-picker.
It is described on detail here on my blog.
Some features:
Click-draggable. Range-makeable. A better calendar.
Drop in a localized version of Datejs, and it should just work. An added bonus is that the text fields will live-parse more nicely! Just try “next tues.”
Timeframe is open source, tested, and available for forking, pushing, and pulling at Github:

This article is the first in a series that explores how to create your own news ticker widget using jQuery and ASP.NET. jQuery is a free, popular, open-source JavaScript library that simplifies many common client-side tasks, like event handling, DOM manipulation, and Ajax. This article kicks off the series and shows how to build a fairly simple news ticker whose contents can be specified statically in HTML markup or created dynamically from server-side code. Future installments will explore adding bells and whistles, such as: stopping the news ticker rotation when the mouse is hovered over it; adding controls to start, stop and pause the headlines; loading new headlines dynamically using Ajax; and packaging the JavaScript used by the ticker into a jQuery plugin.
