var year= today.getFullYear();

t2 = 50;
for (var i=0; i <31 ; i++)
{
var x= String(i+1);
inForm.day.options = new Option(x,x);
}

for (var i=0; i <31 ; i++)

d=inForm.day.options.value;

Try this:
Code: 
<body onLoad=[!]"[/!]populate(document[[!]'[/!]form1[!]'[/!]])[!]"[/!]>

Also... check that the page validates (URLs in my .sig) - to help you debug it better.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

A suggestion to help improve HTML coding style going forward away from "loose" structured documents: use lower case for your HTML element names. This will mean you can code XHTML and XML without a problem. It's also a bit more readable when you have a lot of it to get through :)

ie: <select> not <SELECT> or <option> not <Option>

Just a suggestion [smile]

Cheers,
Jeff

Perhaps then, you can give more details about how it "does not work" because you've not told us anything so far.

Assuming you're talking about the "number of days" dropdown being populated with the correct number when the month changes, the original code you posted works for me as-is in IE 6 and Fx 2.

Sorry Dan,

I should have explained that the submit and reset buttons works in FF and not in IE. With FF you can reset entries, and the submit button fires off the process_form.php script. IE however does nothing on both buttons.

Hope this helps

It would be useful for those following this thread (now and in the future) to have some more useful feedback than "Problem resolved"! Could you describe the solution that resolved this problem for future generations?

Cheers,
Jeff

Problem resolved, that's all we really need to know, honest.
