I agree!

Nathaniel,

The company I work for has decided not to move to RoR (sigh) but this is
by far the best javascript calendar I've seen yet.

I see you have plans to eventually port it to other frameworks, but what
about just plain HTML? I'd like to be able to just slap it on a text
field and have it work. (With a little html, of course.)

Great work!

Suggestion: Include a description of the software in the release
announcement. None of these change log items give me much of a clue
as to what DateBocks actually does or why I would bother following the
link you provided.

A shorter E-mail that described the software in one or two sentences,
with a link to the change log, might be better.

Firefox 1.5 on Kubuntu here. Clicking on the little calendar icon, or
typing things and hitting enter, either works great for me. Have you
got any adblocks or javascript stoppers?

Here Firefox 1.5 on Win 2k (whitelistet this page in adblock, javascript
and so on activated) also no joy. IE6 on same machine loves it and it
looks great.

Thanks for all the great feedback, other than the strange bugs going
around in various browsers/os's.

I will see what I can find. If you have a sec please do try hacking
away and let me know what you come up with. I only have so many
workstations setup, and haven't yet got Parrallells configured for all
the OS's everyone mentioned it was buggy on.
