I am trying to use javascript to calculate the difference between two form inputted dates and return the result to another form object. When I load up the page with the function on my web browser the form does not load and I get a message to say that the page contains errors, presumably as the function is not initialising or being referenced properly. Can anyone help, is the function scripted correctly and are the variables I am attempting to pass to the function referenced correctly?
I've manipulated a javascript function I found on the web until I arrived at the following:
function days_between(in Start, inEnd, outField) {
// Read values from the relevant form objects for start and end dates, and
// reference the output form object.
var sDate=document. getElementById( inStart).value;
var eDate=document. getElementById( inEnd).value;
var tmpField=docume nt.getElementBy Id(outField);
if (sDate != "" && eDate != "")
{// The number of milliseconds in one day
var ONE_DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
// Convert both dates to milliseconds
var sDate_ms = sDate.getTime()
var eDate_ms = eDate.getTime()
// Calculate the difference in milliseconds
var difference_ms = Math.abs(eDate_ ms - sDate_ms)
// Convert back to days and return
tmpField[0].value = Math.round(diff erence_ms/ONE_DAY)}
else
{tmpField[0].value = 0};
}
I am attempting to read the values in form objects 'inStart' and 'endStart', then if these values are not "" (empty) I am attempting to calculate the difference in whole days and return the result to form object 'outField' (denoted by 'tmpField' in the function).
Also, I call the function within a Flash form, within a coldfusion <cfinput> tag via the tag parameter onChange="days_ between(incAbsB egan, incAbsEnded, incAbsShifts)", where 'incAbsBegan', 'incAbsEnded', 'incAbsShifts' are the names of the form objects for start date, end date and number of whole days between respectively.

Welcome to TSDN.
For this to work, you need to create a Date object. The value that you get from the form field is just a string. You need to convert that into a date and then call the getTime() method.
Date() object link.
if u have syntax error .. then the page will be loaded ... but no functions written in the js files ll run.
if u have the <body onload = fun_ref> then check out the coding of fun_ref .....
the best way to get the actual error ... u can use try catch block
have a good day ..... best of luck with ur code

It seems to be a fairly common pattern for an object-modifying method to
return None - however, this is often quite inconvenient.
For instance
def f(lst1, lst2):

The c# *return* statement has been bothering me the past few months.
I don't like the fact that you can have different code paths in a method
and have multiple return statements. To me, it would be more orthogonal
if a method could only have one return statement.

Hi,
I'm designing an interface for a shared library, and I would like to
know if there is a standard about how to return an object to the user. I
will use exceptions to report errors, so there are at least four ways to
do it.
For example if we have a method named M, that receives a reference to
parameter p and returns object o.

I'm really sorry to post this as I know it must have been asked

takes leap years into account?

hi,
is it possible to return an object of an unknown (but not really unknown)

i have the following situation:
- a variable (A) of the type "object" which contains the object
- a variable (B) of the type "Type" which contains the type of the object in
(A) (A should be of the type B)
- a method which should return the object (A) as type (B)

I'v got a flash form with two dates on it. I want the form to automatically display the difference between these two dates, when opened and if and when the dates are altered.
Is it possible to do this using actionscript via an 'onChange' event?
If so could anyone point me in the direction of an example or a tutorial that will help?
I hope you can help.

hello,
I am strangely confused with a date calculation problem.
the point is that I want to calculate difference in two dates in days.
there are two aspects to this problem.
firstly, I can't get a way to convert a string like "1/2/2005" in a
genuan date object which is needed for calculation.
now once this is done I will create a another date object with
today = datetime.datetime.now()
and then see the difference between this today and...

I remember there was a thread a while back that was talking about using the
return value of a function as a reference where I had thought the reference
would become invalidated because it was a temporary but it was stated that
it would not. This has come up in an irc channel but I can not find the
original thread, nor can I get any code to work.
Foo& Bar( int Val )
{
return Foo( Val );
