About rome

From the project's README at github.com/bevacqua/rome. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.

> Customizable date (and time) picker. Opt-in UI, no jQuery!

Rome wasn't built in a day. Browser support includes every sane browser and IE7+. Demo!

Oh, synchronizes in real-time with inputs, never steals focus, and its CSS is entirely customizable!

Rome depends on [][6]. It doesn't depend on jQuery or other weird frameworks, though. Install
