title: How do I make my popup date picker calendar javascript change the text date next to it and update the database?
body: <p>We use a DHTML calendar picker that only allows you to change the date, which is desired functionality. However, I need to figure out the javascript to change the date next to the calendar picker, as seen in the image below, and popup an "are you sure" message.</p>

  <p>The above image is one row in a table, so the JS needs to be aware of which one of potentially 10+ dates it should be editing.</p>
  
  <p>I'm a bit of a javascript n00b. Still learning new things. Feel free to link me to things to read and tips/hints/etc.</p>
  
  <p>If it helps any, we're using PERL with CGI. I guess the JS will have to have an AJAX call to update the database, which I can figure out from other examples in the code base. I just need to figure out how to edit the date on the page for now.</p>
  
  <p>And for clarification, the process is... the person clicks on that calendar icon, gets a DHTML date picker, chooses a date, confirms he wants to change datetime1 to datetime2, and then the change gets applied to the text you see next to the calendar icon and gets put in the database.</p>
