If the prior discussion you are referring to is the one with me, then I quite appreciate Javascript-based validation, as long as it is optional. The Perl CGI script I shared uses CGI::FormBuilder, a library which takes care of both client- and server-side validation. > IMO, since the textbox values are retained on error, I think we can > live without JS validation.

Here is a datepicker: https://code.google.com/p/datepickr/ Look at source of http://blanket.oroenyt.biks.dk/tilmeld for validation code (but please do *not* play with that form, it's in live use - tell me if interested in a demo, then I can setup a different form). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
