MVC3 Razor version of calendar extender

Question

I am used to using the textbox calendar extender (which I love!). However, my newest project is in MVC3 razor and it seems that using AJAX can't be done or at least not in the asp.net way. What is an alternative to using the calendar extender for AJAX? Can I still use it using a work around? Thanks!

jQuery datepicker.

    $("#myTextBox").datepicker(
            {
                showOn: 'button',
                dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy",
                buttonImageOnly: true,
                buttonImage: '../../../images/cal.gif',
                constrainInput: false
            });
