So hard to have a date: js calendars review. New jquery calendar-picker

Am I the only person who likes to be able to type in a flexible date format and have it autocorrect that to a known date? (I set this up for an internal work tool using <a href="http://www.datejs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.datejs.com/</a> and it worked great.)<p>I type faster than I use the mouse. But everyone wants me to use a mouse. :-(

What problems does this new approach solve? I see one that it creates: I can't see the whole month at once, so I have to take extra action to get to a date. I completely lose the spatial view of the grid which, among other things, helps me find a date when I don't know the day, and find a day when I don't know the date.

What's the difference between the yellow border and shaded highlighting?
