HTML5 has type="date" for input fields. It'd be kinda cool if this could automatically use those in situations where the browser doesn't support the picker natively. Unless I totally misunderstand the point ;-)

#43The messages and dates they use on the demo page are fantastic.

#44This doesn't seem to work on IE9 (either that, or I just don't understand how it's supposed to work). All of the examples appear to me as plain old editable text fields.

That would be up to the consumer. If you look at his demo code he attaches it to `input[type=date]` already:

Re: Pickadate.js
#46One issue: when you change the input type from "date" to "text", you lose the common backend format that date input fields are supposed to have. With a normal date input element, input.value returns a date in the format "yyyy-mm-dd" regardless of the display format (in Chrome, at least), and the submitted POST/GET variables reflect the same format. With your date picker, I get values like "31+October%2C+2012". Is there any way to modify your library to mimic the former behavior? Otherwise, you might want to note in your docs that this date picker might require tweaking your server side form processing code.
Here's an article describing the behavior in Chrome: http://updates.html5rocks.com/2012/08/Quick-FAQs-on-input-ty.... That behavior's in line with the current spec: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/forms.html#input-author-notes.
EDIT: I just realized that the OP might not be the author, so I'll just add an issue on GitHub.

Support for input type="date" can be tested by creating an element like that and checking the type attribute. But how can you tell if the browser has support for the native picker? You can't. That is why this picker takes the approach of changing the type date always to text to prevent double date pickers.

#50Some more missing stuff: does not allow to block specific days or weekdays (e.g. sundays) that should not be picked. Also time ranges (hover over a days and the next x days get highlighted) would be nice.
Just submitted an "issue" about that: https://github.com/amsul/pickadate.js/issues/6
