Hi Gurus
What I would like to do is to setup a little form where people can put in a
date (e.g. Day: [....] Month..... [....] Year [......], where ... is user
input) and subsequently, will take them through to an anchor (<A
NAME={date}></A>), relating to the date that they selected. As you may have
worked out by now, I am a real novice when it comes to java script.
I have a browse using Google, but so far no luck
Let me know if you can help
Cheers

Instead of a link, how about just going to the page?
Will this get you started? Watch for word-wrap.

<script type="text/javascript">
function ddmmyy() {
var dd = document.getElementById("dd").value;
var mm = document.getElementById("mm").value;
var yy = document.getElementById("yy").value;
var zz = yy + mm + dd;
location.href = zz + ".htm";
}

You can start by consulting the comp.lang.javascript FAQ with regards to
top-posting and trimming your quotes. As for the PHP, it would depend on
what your server offers. It may offer PHP, ASP, PERL, nothing, or some
other language. Then, you can ask in a related newsgroup about how to
write the proper code to set a Location Header. http://www.php.net/

Thank you for that answer and I am sorry about my lack of understanding
about the News etiquette. Anyway, i have this so far:
<html>
<head>
<title>datelink.htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ddmmyy() {
var dd=document.forms['DF'].elements['dd'].value;
var dd=document.forms['DF'].elements['mm'].value;
var dd=document.forms['DF'].elements['yy'].value;
document.location.href = "#" + yy + mm + dd;
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="DF" onsubmit="return ddmmyy()">
Day: <input type="text" name="dd" size="2">
Month: <input type="text" name="mm" size="2">
Year:<input type="text" name="yy" size="4">
<input type="submit" value="OK">
</form>
</body>
</html>
But, what happens is that I get the following in the address bar:
blah blah/go.html?dd=31&mm=10&yy=2004
While I would prefer to get go.html#31102004
How would I go about this.
TIA once more. Help is really appreciated.
Kind regards
Nicolaas

You probably copied & forgot to update the var names, I think this is
what you meant to do:
var dd=document.forms['DF'].elements['dd'].value;
var mm=document.forms['DF'].elements['mm'].value;
var yy=document.forms['DF'].elements['yy'].value;
Then build the string:
var loc='go.html'+ "#" + yy + mm + dd;
alert('loc = '+loc);
document.location.href=loc;

I don't think that http://20040923.htm will display a page!
Perhaps you meant:
document.location.href = http://{domain}/{path}/ + yy + mm + dd +
".htm";
Otherwise good comments.

If I name my domain 20040923.html it might :) But you are correct.

The fact that you are even getting that URL is surprising and points to
you testing it in IE only. What it *should* be giving you is
go.html?dd=31&mm=undefined&yy=undefined. But IE is picking up the mm and
yy from the name fields, which it shouldn't. Read the other reply with
regards to your var names and how to correct the URL issue.

He would be better off with

var mm = e['mm'].value;
var yy = e['yy'].value;
...
var loc = 'go.html' + "#" + yy + mm + dd;
