web2py ships with jquery core and some additional goodies.

##Version 1.38 and beyond

Ships with

- <http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/welcome/static/calendar.css>
- <http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/welcome/static/calendar.js>

in the static folder of your application, all INPUT fields of class "date", in particular all those automatically generated by SQLFORM for database fields of type "date", will display a popup ajax datepicker., all INPUT of class datetime will display a datetimepicker.

##Before version 1.38:

One of these is the built-in configuration for jquery datepicker but it does ship with datepicker.

That means that if you just copy these two files

- <http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/welcome/static/ui.datepicker.css>
- <http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/welcome/static/ui.datepicker.js>

As long as you use the defaul layout.html or a custom layout that {{include "web2py_ajax.html"}} in <head>..</head>, there is no need to configure anything. If the two files are in static, web2py will find them and use them.

You can try the datepicker here:
