Hidden date field
- Thread starter sborny
- Start date
In JavaScript, create a variable set equal to 'new Date()'. That is now. You might have to play around with the parsing to get it into the format you want, but you can use myDate.getMonth() ...getYear(), etc. and concatenate together the date you want.
Anyway, I THINK that's the most readily-available option to you.

Still in the JavaScript:
formName.fieldName.value = myConcatenatedDateString;
In this case 'value' needs to be 'value', but the other stuff would be YOUR form name, hidden field name, and JavaScript variable name, respectively.
Let me know if you can't get it working.
Good luck!

Building on what Dave said, try something like this:
NOTE: The Date() function in Javascript IS case-sensitive. For more info on using date and time in javascript, go here:
