DESCRIPTION

This class extends YUI3 with a date picker widget, that is able to take an existing form input field and generate a button next to it that launches a calendar popup to select a date. The format of the date is YYYY-MM-DD[ HH:MM::SS]. It is intended to be easy to drop in on a form element without too much extra work.
