calendar date picker plugin

Hi I'm new to rails and trying to find a calendar picker plugin. I've come across 'calendardateselect', but I can't seem to figure out step 4 =P

The other one I tired is 'activecalendar' (does anyone know if this project is maintained?) I tried using this one and I am getting the following errors:

ArgumentError in Members#new

Showing app/views/members/new.html.erb where line #48 raised:

wrong number of arguments (4 for 3)

Extracted source (around line #48):

45: </p> 46: <p> 47: <%= f.label :bday %><br /> 48: <%= f.date_select :bday %> 49: </p> 50: <p> 51: <%= f.label :last_visit_date %><br />

Is there something better out there, easier to use with no fuzz and actually has some documentation?

calendar_date_select is the easiest. Step 4 is just: <%= calendar_date_select_includes "red" %> or whatever color you want.

unfortunately I don't understand easy =P

1) I included the following into my new.html.erb scaffold test code at the top

  <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>   <%= calendar_date_select_includes %>

2) Next I added to the <head> of my layout html.erb file

  <%= calendar_date_select_includes "red" %>

3) Finally next to the date field in the form_for I have something like this:

   <p>      <%= f.label :bday %> <%= calendar_date_select_tag "e_date" %> <br/>      <%= f.date_select :bday %>    </p>

Now when I stop/stop Webrick and refresh my page I get the following error dialog box

"CalendarDateSelect Error: prototype could not be found...."

What prototype as I missing and where should it be added?

OK never mind, it mysteriously started to work now? I'll play around with it a bit more.

Probably the prototype.js library itself. It's included with Rails, but you have to make sure the generated page brings it in with an appropriate <script> tag.
