First off, I am a bit of an idiot when it comes to javascript (and most other forms of web developement) but I was wondering if there was any way I could take several paramaters out of a URL and input them into fields in a form on the page that is loaded.

The page I want to import values is: http://www.geocities.com/tnunemac/

to the feilds for "Current SK Time:
Month (select one) Day (1-28) Year (100-9999) Hour (0-23)"

and they will all be in the format as shown in the text boxes. The dropdown box will be harder to manage, however.

The other thing I would like to happen is the date and time for "current time" to be loaded in when the page loads - all that the user will have to enter is the projected time.

It can be done and not with a great deal of typing, but it will be some work nonetheless. But when you consider that 13% of users do not use JavaScript and that some of those good users cannot because of some disability and when add that this would be way, way easy to do server side in Perl it follows that you ought to just do this server side.
