I'd like a respondent to pick their birthday from a calendar/date picker and then calculate and store their age with the response. Is this possible?

Sure is! Easiest way is to change question type, using Qualtrics library at the bottom. Choose Qualtrics Library - Survey Library - Demographics - Calendar & Date Questions. Choose the second question in the list: "Enter a date:", and import. Even though it looks like a text entry question from the design screen, there is code in there so when you preview and take the survey, it shows up as a calendar!

@Kerry Update the html view of that question text to the following: Enter a date:<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/yui/2.9.0/build/calendar/assets/skins/sam/calendar.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/yui/2.9.0/build/yahoo-dom-event/yahoo-dom-event.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/yui/2.9.0/build/calendar/calendar-min.js"></script> <script> Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function () { var qid = this.questionId; var calid = qid + '_cal'; var y = QBuilder('div'); $(y).setStyle({clear:'both'}); var d = QBuilder('div',{className:'yui-skin-sam'},[ QBuilder('div', {id:calid}), y ]); var c = this.questionContainer; c = $(c).down('.QuestionText'); c.appendChild(d); var cal1 = new YAHOO.widget.Calendar(calid); cal1.render(); var input = $('QR~' + qid); $(input).setStyle({marginTop: '20px',width: '150px'}); var p =$(input).up(); var x = QBuilder('div'); $(x).setStyle({clear:'both'}); p.insert(x,{position:'before'}); cal1.selectEvent.subscribe(function(e,dates){ var date = dates[0][0]; if (date[1] < 10) date[1] = '0' + date[1]; if (date[2] < 10) date[2] = '0' + date[2]; input.value = date[0] +'-'+date[1]+'-'+date[2]; }) }); </script>
