Thanks for your reply, I used your code on one form, but not on another.

Below is code from a page that was developed using dreamweaver, php, mysql, and some javascript. The form validations work with the data entry form, but I want to validate the form when it is updated also. A lot of this code was written by another individual and/or autogenerated with dreamweaver. Could someone look at it to see if there is a way to get the ... onSubmit="return CheckRequiredFields()" form action to work? <form action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" method="POST" name="frmChangeProposalInfo" id="frmChangeProposalInfo" onSubmit="return CheckRequiredFields()"> <?php //Connection statement require_once('../../../Connections/PropDB.php'); //Aditional Functions require_once('../../../includes/functions.inc.php'); // build the form action $editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'] .

Okay, so if I want to have the date automatically entered into the field when any of the four radio buttons are clicked, how would I go about that? The format of the date will be mm/dd/yyyy.

I have a form that has a group of 4 radio buttons named "Status". I would like to have today's date automatically entered into a field ("DateWonorLost") when the radio button "Won" is clicked (the won button has a value of 2). I have been experimenting with onClick, but am not making any progress. Does someone have any guidance for me? Sample code?
