Here's a nice bootstrap form component that allows the user to select a time as well as a date. It also translates using I18N.

Very nice, Jake. I spotted it on your twitter feed at the beginning of the week and shared it around to my colleagues here (to typical silence). Nice usability feature and surprisingly little code in that fiddle - that's what surprised me most.

Way back in the beginning of 2006 I created a date input module for the web that allowed you to type in text like "next tue" and it would convert to a date. At the time I was tasked with helping our Notes group make everything web. This was hard for some programmers because at the time Notes web pages didn't have much in the way of validation. A date field in the client had all the attributes of a date field while on the web it was a text field. I started with Simon Willison's "A better way of entering dates", fixed a few bugs and added more date output formats. You can find the instructions here.

And the code here.

The drop down calendar and date text modules are separate. You are welcome to use the text code to enhance your date code.
