Click-draggable. Range-makeable. A better calendar.

new Timeframe(element, options);

• months: The number of calendar months showing at once (default: 2).

• format: The strftime format for the dates in the input fields (default: %b %d, %Y). (With Datejs, it takes Datejs formatting.)

• weekOffset: Override the localization's default weekday start with this option (e.g., 1 will force the rows to start on Monday; use 0 for Sunday).

• startField, endField: Declare the range start and end input tags (by default, these are generated with the Timeframe). When the value attribute is pre-populated, the Timeframe will load with this range.

• previousButton, todayButton, nextButton, resetButton: Declare the navigational buttons (these are also generated by default with the Timeframe).

• earliest, latest: The earliest and latest selectable dates (accepts either a Date object or a String that can be parsed with Date.parse()).

• maxRange: Limit the maximum possible range length (set to 1 to turn Timeframe into a regular old date picker).

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."

• I'm just sick of multiple date pickers on the same page.
