Regularly Maintained Javascript Library For Selecting A Date From A Pop-Up Calendar?

Question

I'm doing some maintenance on a legacy webapp. The app uses a 3rd party javascript for displaying a pop-up calendar when the user puts her/his mouse into an HTML textfield. The user clicks the date on the calendar and the date gets inserted into the HTML text field.

I've noticed some anomalous behavior so I decided to investigate the script. It looks like it was last updated by the developer in 2007: http://webscripts.softpedia.com/script/Forms-and-Controls-C-C/Dynamic-Date-Selector-22508.html

I think I would like to replace this script with a javascript that does the same thing, but is part of an open source project that is regularly maintained and possibly with a community around it. My preference is either to get a project that does just that feature or a project that will make implementing just feature easy.......I don't want to gut the javascripts in a legacy webapp unless I have to.

So, can anyone recommend an open source, regularly maintained javascript library that has such a feature?

Thanks much in advance

Steve
