Yeah, I agree. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to choose a year. Intuition tells me "this is a text box, I should be able to just edit that text" but it won't let me.

I thought that when I use it as a textbox it would automatically auto complete and hint a month, or dynamically show calendar selecting date while I'm typing, it did neither of those things.

Also I haven't looked at the API that hard, but from the examples it looks like it only supports american way of setting the date i.e. DD/Month/YYYY

Update: another big omission, I can select year only by scrolling through it month by month. i.e. try selecting February 12, 2016

Isn't the American way Month/Date/Year?

Keyboard support for entering a date manually would be great. The GUI is great. Would like to see what the author could come up with for a pick a time.

Fork, fix and contribute.

It is even done without html5 input/type=date so probably is compatible with IE4
