Sorry for not sharing my solution with you - I thought it might be a closed issue now. I eventually found that one of the problems was that the field name rather than the caption name did not match what I had set up in any case, therefore substituted with DT as below.

<td class=TableBody width=300>

<script>DateInput('DT', true, 'DD/MM/YY')</script>
</td>

Another problem was that the form element to create the confirmation button appeared to disable all the following fields so I removed that.

Finally I changed the Date category to VarChar with a length of 8 characters as suggested and made sure that the format was exactly the same as in the opening project window including slashes. I also changed this in the calendarDateInput.js file.

I hope this makes sense.

I was wondering if anyone can help with this. I am trying to use this particular calendar script http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...pcalendar2.htm so that I can make field inputting optional but I can't seem to get it to work in the context of a PHP magic form although it works fine on its own in an ordinary html page. I would be grateful for any sample code to show I might get it to work. The particular problem I have is that the first calendar will not show up.

If anyone knows otherwise how to make inputting optional for the script at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...oncalendar.htm which I can get to work I would be pleased to be told how to do this.



Many thanks for your time.

Julian
