Does not allow the user to enter the date.

It appears, unless I am using it incorrectly that the user cannot just enter the date and always has to uses the date picker.

At present you can enter date only via picker.

I have tested the polyfill and it works quite well; typed input would be a very nice thing to see.

This is a blocker. For example for a birth-date of 1950 you have to click 70 times!

Guys, check v4 (demo at http://chemerisuk.github.io/better-dateinput-polyfill/). New version has improved UI and it's much simpler to select years like 1950. Just make sure you specified appropriate value in min/max attributes.

The new version does not fix this? Is this planned?

@cyberbeat I’d say it’s not planned. With polyfill you can customise presentation of date so implementing manual input for every such date is not an easy task and frankly could be messy too. Check browser built in controls: they has support for manual input but do not allow to change date presentation. IMO human-friendly dates are more important than manual date input.
