Date Selector: a simple javascript web component
Future Shock Software has a great component that quickly makes a field on your web page date-pickable. A simple line of javascript in your <head> tag and one line wherever you want the date picker in your page (preferably in the <body> tag), and you're done. We love the quick and dirty-ness of this script, and yes there are tons of scripts out there that do the same thing, but this one works right out of the
Is there a better date picker you use in web dev projects we should know about, or another approach you would recommend other than using a "canned" date picker?

I use "The DHTML / JavaScript Calendar" http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ - The website isn't lying when they say it's the best; I've searched for a while for JS calendars and this is the only one that I really like. There's a bit more involved in embedding it (last I checked, anyway; that may have changed), but it is extremely customizable and just works once it's set up.

I second Simon's opinion of "The DHTML/JavaScript Calendar" as being the best. I've also integrated it into ASP.NET web pages and user/custom controls. It works superbly well and is very light.
