date-input-polyfill

Just include this simple script and IE, Firefox, and OS X Safari will support <input type="date">, without any dependencies, not even jQuery!

Support dynamically created inputs, so can be used in single page applications.

Forked from nodep-date-input-polyfill. Continuing as a separate project.
