Sure, I like calendars that are clickable. But I don't have to have them, just let me enter the god damn date and accept several different formats
What's the best practice for parsing "several different formats" on the first try in the server side of a web application? For example, does 3/5/2014 mean 3 May or March 5? What month is "luglio"? The web applications that I have developed take ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) input, and users with script turned on also get a button to show a calendar control in case they do not understand ISO 8601.
it seems that I get far fewer virus infections than many people that just blindly turn it on.
I get a similar effect by just making SWF click-to-play and not browsing pornographic web sites or web sites devoted to sharing infringing copies of proprietary commercial software.
