ok, this is gonna seem stupid, but it has been stumping me all
afternoon.
I have two fields on a HTML page. HTML looks like this...
<html>
<head>
<title>New Page 3</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="index.asp">
<select size="1" name="shiptype" onchange="crazyJavascriptFuntion()">
<option selected>SELECT ONE</option>
<option value="3">GROUND (3 DAY)</option>
<option value="2">2ND DAY AIR (2 DAY)</option>
<option value="1">OVERNIGHT (1 DAY)</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="duedate" size="20"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I would like for the text field to automatically update to todays date
+ appropriate selection from ship type.
so if someone selects "GROUND" the text box called "duedate" will
update to Today + 1 day.
any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

A simple approach is ...
<script type="text/javascript">
function setDueDate(oSel) {
var nNow = new Date().getTime(),
nOff = oSel.options[oSel.selectedIndex].value * 8.64E7,
// 86400000 milliseconds are one day
dDue = new Date(nNow + nOff);
oSel.form.elements["duedate"].value
= dDue.getFullYear() + "/"
+ digits(dDue.getMonth() + 1, 2) + "/"
+ digits(dDue.getDate(), 2);
}
function digits(s, n) {
s = s.toString();
while (s.length < n) s = "0" + s;
return s;
}
</script>
[...]
<select name="shiptype" onchange="setDueDate(this)">
.... but this depends on correct date settings at client's system.
If your web server supports apache style Server Side Includes (SSI),
you can simply avoid that using a litte SSI extension:
<!--#config timefmt="%a, %d %b %Y %T GMT"-->
<script type="text/javascript">
var timeOffset = new Date().getTime()
- new Date("<!--#echo var="DATE_GMT" -->").getTime();
function getServerTime() {
return new Date(new Date().getTime() - timeOffset);
}
function setDueDate(oSel) {
var nNow = getServerTime(),
nOff = oSel.options[oSel.selectedIndex].value * 8.64E7,
dDue = new Date(nNow + nOff);
oSel.form.elements["duedate"].value
= dDue.getFullYear() + "/"
+ digits(dDue.getMonth() + 1, 2) + "/"
+ digits(dDue.getDate(), 2);
}
function digits(s, n) {
s = s.toString();
while (s.length < n) s = "0" + s;
return s;
}
</script>
[...]
<select name="shiptype" onchange="setDueDate(this)">

This can be a tad simpler:
// Add leading zero to numbers less than 10
function digits(x) {
return (x<10)? x = "0" + x : x;
}

Yes (but digits(s, n) is more versatile).
// Add leading zero to numbers less than 10
function digits(x) {
return (x<10)? x = "0" + x : x;
^^^^
Drop that "x = ".
}
Another simple and fast one:
function digits2(s) {
return (Number(s) + 100).toString().substring(1);
}
ciao, dhgm
thanks a TON you guys. i ended up with the following, which i had
bastardized from some other javascript i found. its only works with
..ASP pages, but it works...
<script language='javascript'>
function SelVal(fF,tF,fname,tname)
{
eval(tF + "." + tname + ".value = " + fF + "." + fname +
".options.value");
}
</script>
<form name="mess1" ID="Form1">
<table cellpadding="4" border="0" ID="Table2">
<tr>
<td>
<p><b>First</b></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><b><select style="width=140" name="us1"
onchange="SelVal('mess1','mess2','us1','sf1')" ID="Select1">
<option value selected>SELECT ONE
<option value="<%=NOW()+4%>">Ground (4 day)
<option value="<%=NOW()+2%>">2ND DAY (2 day)
<option value="<%=NOW()+1%>">OVERNIGHT (1 day)
</select></b></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<form name="mess2" ID="Form2">
<table cellpadding="4" border="0" ID="Table3">
<tr>
<td>
<p><b>Second</b></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><input type="text" name="sf1" size="40" ID="Text2"></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
its ugly, its messy, but it does exactly what i wanted it to. thanks a
TON for your insight guys. probably gonna end up going with one of the
above solutions, just cause they look better and aren't .asp dependent. pk*************@hotmail.com wrote: <script language='javascript'>
function SelVal(fF,tF,fname,tname)
{
eval(tF + "." + tname + ".value = " + fF + "." + fname +
".options.value");
}
This works in MSIE only, and is an extremely useless use of evil eval.
You should replace it with:
<script type="text/javascript" language='javascript'>
function SelVal(sel, tF, tname) {
var f, t;
if ((f = document.forms[tF]) && (t = f.elements[tname]))
t.value = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
}
</script>
....
<select [...] onchange="SelVal(this, 'mess2', 'sf1')" [...]>

Usually. dDue = new Date(nNow + nOff);
Will probably fail if the interval spans the last Sunday in either March
or October, probably March.
nNow = new Date()
nOff = oSel.options[oSel.selectedIndex].value
dDue = nNow.setDate(nNow.getDate() + nOff)
See below.

Unfortunately its result can be either a string or a number. That can
have unfortunate consequences if
YYYYMMDD = digits(D.getFullYear()) +
digits(D.getMonth()+1) +
digits(D.getDate())
is tested only in Jan..Sep. And the "x = " is not needed. Consider
return ( x<10 ? "0" : "") + x
See below.

Always (apart from leap seconds). DST simply changes the time zone,
the length of a day (as Date.getTime() shows) is not really affected
by this.
dDue = new Date(nNow + nOff);

Yep

I tested something similar to that, and found it slower (on a reasonable
input mix) than conditionally adding "0" / ""; however, it seemed to be
the best algorithm for VBScript.
It's hardly critical; but it might be amusing to see what is really
best.
NOTE : There are two cases.
(1) the parameter is guaranteed to be an integer in the range 0..99 -
which is so for much common use.
(2) it is not - in that case my preference is for a method that will
always return the correct numerical value. If it's going to be wrong,
it should *look* wrong!
Consider these, which I have not timed :
function D2(X) { var S = X+""
return S.length==1 ? "0"+S : S }
function D2(X) { var S
return (S=X+"").length==1 ? "0"+S : S }
and note that they work equally well if the number is a hex string -
i.e. a -> 0a !

Date.getTime() has nothing to do with Days; it is an absolute time
measure, giving the same result simultaneously world-wide, for well-
adjusted systems. It is a pity that the identifier getUTCms was not
used instead.
The last Sunday in March has 23 hours, from 00:00 to 24:00.
The last Sunday in October has 25 hours, from 00:00 to 24:00.
North Americans are later in Spring, Antipodeans are inverted, others
vary.
ISO 8601:2000 considers the day as a unit of time to be 24 hours; but
the calendar day to be 24 hours +- leap second +- other (Summer Time)
changes.

For your gallery another funny one (even faster, especially in Geckos):

return (- -n < 10 && "0" || "") + n;

For me, as is, it is just a little faster than the LZ I've been using.
But it gives unfortunate results for x<0, and fixing that removes the
speed difference for me.
Starting -n > -10 saves one character!
