How To: Create Calendar link for Input field - 11/5/2004 8:10:13   
I've got a Access database submission_from.asp which has all the fields needed including one Text Box in which the user enters the date as 10/30/2004. I'd like to use a button to popup a small calendar where they could click on a date and it enters it in the filed. I see how to do that in Access directly but how would you do this on the FrontPage form? TIA.

I've suggested this one several times. I like it 'cause the popup window is just HTML and quite customizeable.

Well that little script is great and from the authors website he now has a new one using CCS that is great BUT my boss is getting to be a real pain.. Now he asks if when you click on the link to get to the Submission_Form, it could automatically populate the Date field with todays date... Any ideas on that one?

<input type="text" name="myDateField" value="<%=Date()%>">

You should be able to do both; the calendar and the default date value. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the help. That did it great.. If you get a chance check out the new script on the popup calendar..

Tried it (the calendar button on that page) and I got a run-time error. Does it error for you? Other than that :) it looks cool but not free :).

Yep it worked fine for me??? Yes the Advanced one says there is a fee but when you download the one that is there it works great so I'm not sure what you would pay for.. Thanks again for the help.
