> whereas jQuery UI datepicker is 42kb minified

For anyone who cares, the Closure Compiler gets jQuery UI Datepicker down to 30kb (11kb gzipped).

Not quite as drastic as he claims but still significantly larger compared to his 6.7kb (2.8kb gzipped).

Looks great. I like that it is big with plenty of spacing. Most date pickers seem to squish together the numbers without any apparent reason. It'd be so helpful if makers of these js elements put screenshots of what the element looks like on top 3 mobile devices. Of course, this raises the question that they would need access to these devices. Which raises the question, for people who do mobile-heavy web dev, how do…

iOS Simulator with desktop Safari's inspector if needed. If it is a more simple page then a separate browser window resized to mobile size.

Thanks! Also just found browserstack.com

From the demos it appears that this doesn't have keyboard support. That seems like a major drawback from an accessibility standpoint. It does look nice and easy otherwise, though.

Keyboard support for entering a date manually would be great. The GUI is great. Would like to see what the author could come up with for a pick a time.
