Question

I'm looking for a iPhone-like "picker" control that I'm able to use on the web.

Accessibility is not a concern. JavaScript will be available on all clients and the web app will be run on an environment provided to the user. If the solution could gracefully degrade to a select box though, that would be great. Flash & Silverlight are not ideal (for reasons I don't care to jump into) but similar solutions in Flash & Silverlight may be appreciated by others.

Here's an example of the control on an iPhone:

Solution

I know this question is somewhat old, but since I have an answer I could just as well give it. Other people can still be looking for it (just like I did). I created this control to use it as a plugin with jQuery. See my blog:

OTHER TIPS

It sounds like you're looking for something already built, which I haven't seen, but it looks like you could build one by using YUI's Carousel Control plus Animations, as this section on the carousel control page explains.

Good luck!!

ComponentOne may have what you're looking for. Check out the C1 Studio for iPhone at http://www.componentone.com. It's a suite of ASP.NET controls which mimic the Native look and feel of iPhone UI elements.
