Hi,

I am trying to find the correct javascript syntax for validating the return value for a calendar field when submit button is pressed.


This code works for a text field.

var x=document.getElementById("test");
document.writeln(x.value);

but we cannot access a calendar field in the same way - this code doesn't work.

var x=document.getElementById("date");
document.writeln(x.value);

Does anyone know what the javascript syntax is for handling a calendar field?

Thanks, Neil

Hello,

This is most likely caused by the fact that you are not using the correct id. The text field that holds the calendar value is something like this : txtcalx, where x is actually a counter (0, 1, 2...etc).

Example:

To determine the correct id it would be best to use an inspecting tool like Firebug or view the page source.
