Colon(:) throwing error in javascript

[Jesse31]

I have a line of javascript that is setting a .net control's value but it's throwing an error saying ";" expected. I'm guessing it's because of the colons in the control's name. Any ideas?

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>window.opener.form(1).ctlCoreProjectInfo:txtProjectStartDate:txtDate='4/13/2002';window.close();</script>

I'm sorry but I see distinct problems with this code. I never saw anything such as this. Can anybody tell me if this is a Microsoft only feature?

on another note and I hope this helps you :

opener.document.form[1]

is how I access forms in javascript on an opener. you can also use the name of the form :

opener.document.myFormName

What did you use to create this code? Are you inspiring yoruself from another language?

This code is supposed to represent my javascript call from a popup .net calendar to set a textbox's value from the calling window.

ouch. .NET you say?

Why not use a javascript calendar that works great without all the .NET implications? Gary

I working in a .net environment and to tell you the truth, I don't know much about Javascript so I'm trying to stay away from it as much as possible. How does a Javascript calendar work?

In a few weeks I will post one that I have in another bigger project on my web site so if you are willing to wait a little while then you could use that one.

Otherwise you can do a search for a javascript calendar on the net (I recommend google). some are really well documented.

Hope this helps. Gary
