I’ve been search around for a good gem/plug-in to allow intuitive user input of a date(i.e. select a date from a pop-up calendar).

calendardateselect looks really good, but it’s no longer in active development, and no longer installs correctly.

I found a few others, but they were all quite stale. What are Stack Overflow users using for date input in rails?

Per @bjg and @Fortuity jQuery UI is the direction I decided to go. Getting it up and running was a little complex, so I wrote a short how-to for others.

    The jQuery UI Datepicker has been popular among Rails developers since Ryan Bates produced a screencast showing how to use it in a Rails application.

    For a Rails plugin that uses the jQuery UI Datepicker, look at:

    Ryan’s screencast includes hints for how to use it with Rails 3. The table_builder plugin is for Rails 2.3. I haven’t yet seen a datepicker plugin for Rails 3 but it’s easy to implement without a plugin.
