Type mismatch: 'date1'

[carlosparedes]

hi guys

I am trying to format the date, I get in input box, into ddmmyyyy (without separators).
I am getting the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'date1'

I don't Know what I am doing wrong.

<Code>
Select Date: &nbsp;<input type="date" name="date1" size="16" valign="top">

<%Function FormatDateNoSep(date1, yrDig)
Dim strYYYY
Dim strMM
Dim strDD

strYYYY = CStr(DatePart("yyyy",date1))

if yrDig = 2 then strYYYY = Right(strYYYY, 2)


strMM = CStr(DatePart("m", date1))
If Len(strMM) = 1 Then strMM = "0" & strMM

strDD = CStr(DatePart("d",date1))
If Len(strDD) = 1 Then strDD = "0" & strDD

FormatDateNoSep = strMM & strDD & strYYYY

End Function %>

<% = FormatDateNoSep(date1(),4) %>


</code>

Thanks in advance

1. As you're in the ASP forum it's reasonable to suppose you're using ASP. In ASP all code is processed on the server before the page is served to the client, so, as shown, your function will be processed before it gets any input. You need to use a Form element to contain your Input, then use the Action attribute of the form to redirect your date to the server to be processed.

2. The name of the Input element isn't the name of the variable containing the data.

3. I see from your history that you haven't given any feedback on any of the 6 questions that you have asked on these forums. Please read faq222-2244 to see how the forums work.

4. You should go back to the basics of ASP, starting from somewhere like

<% = FormatDateNoSep(date1[red]()[/red],4) %>
