Q1
Does anyone know how to create something similar to a datepicker on an HTML form?
Is there anything like:
<input TYPE="Datepicker" NAME="FromDate" VALUE="01 May 2000">
Q2
Are there date functions you can use in an asp page.
For example, I want to format a date [format(date, "dd mm yyyy")] or add a date. When I tried to use these functions I received errors. Can anyone offer a solution?
I'm not sure about the datepicker but you can format dates using the formatdatetime() function, it takes the regional settings from the server though.
You can embed the actual date time picker control easily. You just have to create a license pack file and embed it on the page as well. The only thing is the page will only be able to be displayed with IE4+
There are also many javascript versions out there that are browser independent.
I've used formatdatetime() function...
but, too bad... the format options is still to limited to choose...
I can't format my date into :
22 Sept 2000
or
22 September 2000
or
09/22/2000
or
22/09/2000
what I can do, just to format my date into longdate or shortdate.
Any suggestions ???

Here's a VBScript function I wrote that converts a string converted date in 'MM/DD/YY' format to DD-MMM-YY.
You could easily modify it to do what you want.
Code:Function ConvertDate(strDateString)
Dim intMonth
on error resume next
intMonth = Month(CDate(strDateString))
Select Case intMonth
Case 1
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-JAN-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 2
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-FEB-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 3
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-MAR-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 4
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-APR-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 5
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-MAY-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 6
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-JUN-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 7
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-JUL-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 8
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-AUG-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 9
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-SEP-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 10
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-OCT-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case 11
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-NOV-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
Case Else
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-DEC-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
End Select
ConvertDate = strDateString
End Function
ok monte...
I've tried your code...
It works... but, nd easily to change.... right... I can change / modify your code to what I need easily...
But, I've got one question for you....
At your code, you only supply 2 digits of year.
My question is...
How about if I want to make my year into 4 digit..
How can I cek whether it is year 19xx or 20xx ???
Thx in reply...

Now, that is assuming that your server's regional settings date format has a 4 digit year otherwise it will still return only a 2 digit year.Code:'Change this:
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-FEB-" & Right(Year(CDate(strDateString)),2)
'To this:
strDateString = Day(CDate(strDateString)) & "-FEB-" & Year(CDate(strDateString))
'for each case...
