Hi Karsten,
I've made a patch to the page to add the HTML5 date components - it should work nicely across the majority of browsers (maybe even all with a plaintext fallback).
I wasn't sure exactly in which format you wanted the patch, so I've uploaded it to my server:

Thanks,
Josh
Sorry for coming late in the discussion,
No worries, and thanks for joining the discussion.
any reason to default to no value? Defaulting to current date would all to just change the day in many cases and save a lot of clicks to set month/date
I'm not entirely sure that I understand. Do you mean accepting only an IP address as input and not also requiring a date?
The field does currently not have a default value, so the HTML 5 date selector in chrome shows me dd/mm/yyyy + some arrows to set each part of the date which I didn't find convenient as the month/year are likely to be current or previous one. But I have now noticed that the bigger arrow on the right shows a calendar displaying current month so it's only 2 clicks to get to a recent date :)
My understanding is that users are typically not interested in whether there's a relay with a given IP address right now but weeks or even months back in the past.
A big downside of not requiring a date is that people may only put in an address, because that's much more convenient than also looking up the date, obtain a positive or negative result, and implicitly assume that the result for a few weeks back would have been the same. That can be quite unfortunate for people on dynamic IP addresses or those who have recently stopped running a relay.
