I have a date/time field in a time billing app. I have placed a button beside it labelled NOW that I want to be able to click and have it stuff the current time into the time field END1.
I have created a client side event to do this through CCS interface with a line of code:
document.timesheet1.end1.value=now
When clicked the field does not get filled in. I have tried DATE and NOW() with brackets but, it still won't put the current time or date into this date time field.
If I put a static value in quotes then the onclick event works - how do i get the time to convert to a string ?
thanks
Kevin

Not sure if "now" is a valid JavaScript function, couldn't find it here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=javascript+function+reference+now
Here are some JS functions for obtaining current time: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=javascript+current+time

Seems a long bit of code for a simple task. Is there VBScript I can use instead and some way of marking the event as VBScript language ?
thanks

Good question. A direct answer would be that if you use client events then by default the JavaScript is used, and I wouldn't recommend changing it.
However, I always use events for server-side code but rarely for client-side because any standard JavaScript/VBScript code can be placed in HTML and events are not needed here (they may be helpful from IDE point of view but for me it's an overkill). Thus in your case I wouldn't even use an event, I would just find some JavaScript (or VBScript if you like) and put it directly in HTML.

OK, thanks. I'll try VBScript in HTML and nix the events.

Found a better solution which only requires 1 line of code.
I'm updating a record in a form so, it is loaded when I click on the link in the grid and I do this:
1) create a hidden field with a before show event of retrieving the current time(). Field is Data Type DATE and format of time.
2) create the button and make a client side event for on-click of custom code:
document.form.TargetField.value=document.form.HiddenField.value ;
Don't forget the semi-colon or it won't work.
