looks way better now, less intrusive.
However I now thought about something, I didn't think of in the first place:
Did you ever have a look at the existing date picker extensions? AFAIK 
they all modify TCEforms in a way that they directly render the 
datepicker image from PHP. I'd say that would be desirable for this 
solution, too
   * to have a common place where the HTML is coming from and
   * to not cause confusion when debugging
   * that way I gues we could also load the JS for the datepicker only 
when needed (in case a TCEform does not have any date fields) (optional 
for now)

Additionally I noticed that when a field has a date set already and you 
trigger the date picker, that date is not selected in the date picker. 
Instead the current day is selected.

One more thing which is possibly not related to this issue:
Please see the attached screenshot, AFAIR we fixed that alignment issue 
already, is that a regression?

it's month/day/year in the US



all the best
