Hi guys!
i have encountered a bit of a problem and have been struggling to solve it with my basic javascript knowledge. What i am after is a script that when p_close_date has data is populated the script willpopulate p_close_time with the current time, although not SYSDATE as such because i dont want the time to change once the field has been populated.

I know this is a weird request cos there is no basic code as such but any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is Pseudo code which reiterates what i hope to achieve

{
if (theForm.p_close_date.value IS NOT NULL)
{
the form.p_close_time.value = TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'HH24:MI')
}
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try this -

if (theForm.p_close_date.value IS NOT NULL)
{
var d = new Date()
the form.p_close_time.value = d.getHours() + "." +
d.getMinutes() + "." + d.getSeconds();
}

Cheers

Stewart

Your field:
Code: 
<input type="text" name="p_close_date" onchange="doTheThing();">

Your function between the [tt]<head></head>[/tt] tags:
Code: 
function doTheThing() {
    var cd = document.forms['form_name'].elements['p_close_date'];
    var ct = document.forms['form_name'].elements['p_close_time'];
    var dt = new Date();
    if (cd.value != '')
        ct.value = dt.getHours() + ":" + dt.getMinutes() + ":" + dt.getSeconds();
}

Maybe go into a little more detail, some code samples, your html form, etc.
