Im taking my first steps into javascript 
What I am intending on doing is using the ondblclick event (under format tab of text field property) to insert the current date.
In effect - clicking on the text field inserts the current date.
I have got it to insert text using this...
value += 'text'
but when I try and swap it out for a date function , it doesnt work.
value += getdate();
Can anyone point me in the right direction as I have been googling for ages and cant seem to find anything to help me undertand

Ive worked it out... well at least to tie it to a field....
function PrintDate() {
var d = new Date();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth();
curr_month++;
if (curr_date < 10)
{
curr_date = "0" + curr_date;
}
if (curr_month < 10)
{
curr_month = "0" + curr_month;
}
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
Bwip_Quote1.inception.value= curr_date + "/" + curr_month + "/" + curr_year;
}
</script>
In this case thetext field has an id of : inception and is on the Bwip_Quote1 form.
The issue I have is that i would like to make this work with any field - so I guess I need to use a dynamic variable in place of inception?
Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

Tony,
Cannot tell you straight away how, but check out the DatePicker and steal
the code from that.
Copy/Paste, still best practice

Hi Walter,
I did try to understand the date picker js but its a little too complex for me
I'll keep trying though.
Tony

Thinking about it.....
What I need is to pass the variable to the function ( the onclick event) like this....
the ondblclick event:
PrintDate(inception)
code in html:
<script language="JavaScript">
function PrintDate(str) {
..........code here ........
Bwip_Quote1.str.value= curr_date + "/" + curr_month + "/" + curr_year;
}
</script>
Im sure thats what I need to do - but I cannot get it to work.
