jQuery Date Range Picker

jQuery Date Range Picker is a jQuery plugin that allows user to select a date range.

Requires jQuery 1.3.2+ (MIT LICENSE), Moment 2.2.0+ (MIT LICENSE)

Supports IE6+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and other standard HTML5 browsers.

Supports multi-language, you can choose a defined language or set it to auto-detect mode.
You can also define new languages for it.

The HTML DOMs generated is fully CSS styled, you can change the skin by editting the CSS file easily.

I accept further customization job if you require more functions. My personal blog is http://jszen.com
