Solution

I tried this code, it may work for you also:

            DateFormat dateFormat2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd"); 
            Date date2 = new Date();

            String today = dateFormat2.format(date2); 

            //find the calendar
            WebElement dateWidget = driver.findElement(By.id("dp-calendar"));  
            List<WebElement> columns=dateWidget.findElements(By.tagName("td"));  

            //comparing the text of cell with today's date and clicking it.
            for (WebElement cell : columns)
            {
               if (cell.getText().equals(today))
               {
                  cell.click();
                  break;
               }
            }

Problem

I have a webpage with a textbox field. A calender icon near it. When i click on the calender icon a calender view is displayed. I think its not a jquery calender. Can anyone provide an example to automate this type of date pickers.
