Part software engineer, part mad scientist, I enjoy building highly available and scalable, cross browser web applications using the latest best practices and the best tool for the job, whatever that may be.


I also regularly put myself in dangerous situations like being upside down on a miniature bicycle, tearing up mountain single tracks on dirt bikes, or going really fast down snow and ice on a piece of waxed plastic.


Ocassionally I'll even tweet

jQuery Date Select Boxes Plugin

Get the plugin: Date Select Boxes
Git: https://github.com/NickABusey/jQuery-Date-Select-Boxes-Plugin

A simple way to implement smart date select boxes. Given month, day, and year select boxes, this plugin will automatically populate the day select box with the proper amount of days for a given year and month combination, taking leap years into account. Includes and uses jQuery Select Box Manipulation plugin.

Usage: $().dateSelectBoxes($(‘#birthMonth’),$(‘#birthDay’),$(‘#birthYear’), keepDayLabel);

Where keepDayLabel is a boolean to say whether or not you want to preserve the first element in the select (e.g., a value-less, descriptive option used as a label (e.g., ‘day’))

Default Behavior

With optional label
