Validation of forms breaks Javascript

[Paul Proefrock]

It appears that if you require FrontPage2003 validation of certain form
fields, it will break some types of Javascript, ie: date-pickers that assign
a date to a given field.

I am not validating the date field but if I require validation (in
FrontPage) of any other field, it breaks the script.

Is there a workaround that I can use the FrontPage validation or am I forced
to use Javascript validation also?

thanks

Paul

You would have to remove the FP validation script and then merge it with your custom script, so that
you are using a single script for the form. The main issue is the FP assign a name to the form, and
you can not change it.

It sounds as if the scripts are in conflict.
Have you tried changing function and / or variable names in the date picker
script??

If there's a form name variable in the date picker script, try adjusting it
to use the FrontPage form name. (FrontPage forces you to use a particular
form name to use validation.)
