Hello, the following code does not work.
xdate is not an object.
var xdate = Date.parse(document.forms["REQUESTS"].ADM_REQ_DATE.value);
var theDay = xdate.getDay();
alert(theDay);
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Frank

Three questions, Frank:
1. is ADM_REQ_DATE.value a *valid* date representation?
2. does alert(document.forms["REQUESTS"].ADM_REQ_DATE.value) display the
correct date?
3. does substituting var xdate = Date.parse(<put a literal date value
here>) make the "not an object" error go away?

Hi DonB,
Yes to #1
Yes to #2
I got around this by substring of the control into it's date parts. eg m,d,y
and using:
var theDate = Date(y,m,d);
This works, but I would of liked to have used my original code.
Regards,
Frank

Then the structure of your date was probably the culprit. I'd guess it was
mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy (maybe even a 2-digit year?). Perhaps if you tried
either of these ways: "21 Oct, 2003" or "Oct 21, 2003" it would work?
It would be useful info to know what effect this has, even though you've
resolved it another way. Please try it and post the results.

Hi DonB,
I tried:
var theDate = Date.parse("Oct 21, 2003");
var theDate = Date.parse("21 Oct, 2003");
and get the same error.

Frank
