I'm looking for a "date-picker" that works for all the browsers

Question

This is how it should look on all the browsers:

And this is how it looks on Safari, for example:

This is the code that I am using at the moment:

<%= date_field 'birth_date', rel => 'birth_date',
        class => "form-control", required => undef %>

A date picker can be useful for selecting dates within a month or two of "today", but is seldom a good match for a Date of Birth field. I created the [jQuery date text entry](http://grantm.github.io/jquery-datetextentry/) plugin for this type of field. — Grant McLean, Oct 05 '20 at 21:23

You're using the Mojolicious date_field tag helper. This generates a <input type="date"> HTML input field.

But support for the date input isn't universal. In particular, you'll see that Safari doesn't support it.

So you'll need to use some kind of plugin, I guess. If you're using jQuery, then one of these might work for you.
