Pop-up Calendar

[Stephen Cairns]

I have some script (below) which is returning the date from a pop-up calendar. My problem is that the date is being returned in a dd/mm/yyyy format. However I need to be come back with a dd/mm/yy format. Is there anything simple I can do with the code to achieve this

function y2k(number) { return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;

var today = new Date()
var day = today.getDate()
var month = today.getMonth()
var year = y2k(today.getYear())

function padout(number) { return (number < 10) ? '0' + number : number;

function restart()
document.accounting.date.value = '' + padout(day) +'/' + padout(month - 0 + 1) + '/' + year
mywindow.close();

You need to ask this on the .scripting.jscript group.

Why not just do something like this:

dateValue.slice(0, 6) + dateValue.slice(8)

where abouts should I add this piece of code

[Raymond D'Anjou \(raydan\)]

Kind of depends what you are doing.
The code I gave you was in javaScript since you posted javaScript code,
but I would guess from the newsgroup you posted to that you are using ASP to
write to a database.
Tell us a bit more of what you are trying to do.
