You're looking for a javascript based calendar. There are tons of those,
and choice is mainly a matter of preferences... Most people put a little
calendar icon besides the textbox for popping up the calendar, but you
could "wire up" your events differently if that's what you want.

This is a pretty popular one: http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/
Google will list tons more.
