jQuery UI Timepicker (By François Gélinas) Thanks !! (:

What is this?

This is a jQuery UI time picker plugin build to match with other official jQuery UI widgets. Based on the existing date picker, it will blend nicely with your form and use your selected jQuery UI theme. The plugin is very easy to integrate in your form for you time (hours / minutes) inputs.

To Do :

Possibility to use the timepicker for hours only, or minutes only.
Change the code style to use the jQuery widget framework.
Detect a second click on the same cell and close the picker (ie: the user selected hours and do not want to select different minutes or vice versa, and click twice on the same cell instead) This is already simulated with the handling of the double click.
