Date Picker

The Date Picker can be used to select either a day, a week, a month, a quarter, a half year, a year or a business year. The configured default date range can be changed by clicking one of the links above the date picker.

Initial offset of the date, the date format etc. can be configured.

When a selection is performed, the selected date gets written into the URl hash and can then be used by other widgets.

Supports swipe left/right gestures on mobile browsers to display last/next period.
