date picker problem

[squirrl]

Hi,

I have been working with date picker.

The calendar pops up fine and I can enter a date in my text box. However, if I try to use date picker in conjunction with FormMail, I can no longer enter a date.

Are the two incompatible and, if so, does anyone know of a popup calendar that will work with Formmail?

Thanks,

I'm not familiar with formMail, but I can't think why they would be incompatible. Perhaps you could post your scripts?

cijori,

Thanks for the reply.

If what I have just been reading is correct, the problem derives from the fact that you cannot have a form within a form.

The solution appears to be a popup calendar script that can be attached to a text box that does not require its own form.

Any ideas most welcome.

Why do you need nested forms? If you post your script, I can take a look.

cijori,

Matt Wright's FormMail script gets its information from a form on your page:

<FORM method=post action="http://www.yoursite.co.uk/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="info@yoursite.co.uk">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Client Enquiry">
etc.......

When you want to enter dates, via date picker, you need something like:

<TR>
<TD width="116"><H3>Start date:</H3>
</TD>
<TD><H4>
<form name="calform">
<input type=text name="trip_start" size=15><a href="javascript:show_calendar('calform.trip_start');" onmouseover="window.status='Date Picker';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;"><img src="show-calendar.gif" width=24 height=22 border=0></a>
</form>
</H4>
</TD>
</TR>

This makes it a form within a form or is there something of which I am not aware?

Yeah, get rid of your nested forms. Just use the one...
