Unable to return and display dates with Javascript... [Archive]

Good afternoon,

I have a form that uses 2 popup calendars to submit dates into a textbox ( textboxes are labeled datebox, and datebox1.) Once the date is entered into the 2 fields the submit button executes my javascript process page. I've created a function to show all dates between the start date and end date, but when I run the program, I just get a blank screen. I've tried to call 2 functions for each date, that didn't work...so I narrowed it down to 1 function. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Note: I put single quotes in my for loop so it does not show as a smily face.

endDate = document.calform.datebox1.value;

for (';;') {
// infinite loop
if (startDate > endDate) {
// break out of infinte loop and function
return;
}
document.write(showDates(beginDate) + '-' + showDates(endDate));
}
}

Where to start... This will need some additional work, but try starting here:

function showDates() {
beginDate = document.calform.datebox.value;
endDate = document.calform.datebox1.value;

if (startDate > endDate) {
alert("Error End Date must be Greater than Start Date");
return;
}

document.write(beginDate + '-' + endDate);
}
