class net.nextdb.html.Calendar

	// comment
	// The calendar object has one function that
	// returns an HTMLInput object that you can insert
	// into the DOM.  When the text field comes into
	// focus a Calendar interface appears allowing the
	// use to easily select a date.  The date is converted
	// into the appropriate format for the server so you
	// can pass the value of the field to the server
	// wholesale.

	// optional color configuration
	var colors = {	"border":"rgb(200, 200, 200)",
					"font":"rgb(8, 8, 8)",
					"background":"rgb(255, 255, 255)",
					"selectedBackground":"rgb(0, 88, 0)",
					"selectedFont":"rgb(255, 255, 255)",
					"mouseoverBackground":"rgb(200, 200, 200)",
