[thelist] Fomated tet box question - solution

[Brian Delaney]

This was much easier than I would have thought , here is the code:

<td colpan=4>
 Episode Date:
 <td width=20%>
 <input style="border: thin inset;" type="text" name="txtEDay" size="2" 
maxlength="2" value=""  
onkeyup="changeCursor(document.frmIncident.txtEDay,document.frmIncident.txtEMonth, 
2)" ID="Text1">/
 </td>
 <td width=20%>
 <input style="border: thin inset;" type="text" name="txtEMonth" 
size="2" maxlength="2" value="" 
onkeyup="changeCursor(document.frmIncident.txtEMonth,document.frmIncident.txtEYear 
,2)" ID="Text2">/
 </td>
<td width=40%>
<input style="border: thin inset;" type="text" name="txtEYear" size="4" 
maxlength="4" value="" ID="Text3">
</td> 
</td>

the java movecursor stuff:

function changeCursor(from,to,len)
 {
   if(from.value.length >= len)
     {
        to.focus();
     }
    return true;
}



the java validation is as follows:

function DoSubmit(PostType)
{
    var txteday = ""
    var txtemonth = ""
    var txteyear = ""
    var newdate = ""
    if (frmIncident.txtEDay.value == "")
    {
    alert("Incomplete Episode date entered, Please enter a Episode date");
    return;
    }
   
    else if (frmIncident.txtEMonth.value == "")
    {
    alert("Incomplete Episode date entered, Please enter a Episode date");
    return;
    }
   
    else if (frmIncident.txtEYear.value == "")
    {
    alert("Incomplete Episode date entered, Please enter a Episode date");
    return;
    }
   
    else
    {
    txteday = frmIncident.txtEDay.value + '/'
    txtemonth = frmIncident.txtEMonth.value + '/'
    txteyear = frmIncident.txtEYear.value
    newdate = txteday + txtemonth + txteyear
   
    if (!IsDate(newdate))
    {
        frmIncident.txtEDay.focus();
        return;           
    }
   
    frmIncident.txtEdate.value = newdate;       
    frmIncident.PostType.value = PostType;
    frmIncident.action = "Incident_Report_New.asp";
    frmIncident.submit();
    }
   
}

then asp retrieves ans sends on its way !

thanks again
