jQuery Datepicker Widget

Markup:
<form action="https://cscie12.dce.harvard.edu/echo">

Enter a start date: <input class="date" type="text" size="32" name="startdate" id="startdate" />
</p>
<p>
Enter an end date: <input class="date" type="text" size="32" name="enddate" id="enddate" />
</p>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
