Function Help 2

[mdr2273]

I am new to Javascript. Can someone help with the following? I would like the text box txtDate to be set to the current date and the text box txtAmount set to 0 when a user clicks on the checkbox txtChkBox1. The simple HTML code is below.

Thank you!


<input type="checkbox" name="txtChkBox1" /> Click Here<br />
<input type="text" name="txtDate" /><br />
<input type="text" name="txtAmount" /><br />

<input type="checkbox" name="txtChkBox1" onclick="txtDate.value=new Date(); txtAmount.value=0;" />

Thank you. How would I format the date to read 1/3/07 in that format?

you would need to break it out to a function and into its parts....

function formatDate(obj){

var dte = new Date();

var myMonth = dte.getMonth()+1;
var myDay = dte.getDate();
var myYear = dte.getFullYear();

var mydate = '' + myday + '/' + mymonth + '/' + myyear;

obj.value = mydate;
}

if you want just 2 digit year you could apply a sub string command to grab just the last two digits.

and remember you will need to call it as follows now because you pass it the object to be updated.

<input type="checkbox" name="txtChkBox1" onclick=" txtAmount.value=0; formatDate(txtDate);" />

oops made typo's remember those var names should be

var mydate = '' + myDay + '/' + myMonth + '/' + myYear;

mdr2273, since you've posted a handful of threads to the site now and have become familiar with it, why not try awarding a star to 1DMF for the help he provided you?

But that doesn't get those who ask questions into the habit of responding properly.

Thanks for pointing that option out, I have given 1DMF a star. I didn't know that was an option until just now.

I didn't know that was an option until just now.

Some people just need a subtle nudge in the right direction
