Yeah, one of the problems with JavaScript is it doesn't have any date/time functions :-) > If we decide to add more functionality in this area, which language's > date and functions do you like better? Not the god-awful Java calendar or util.Date one :-) I like CFs simple dateAdd(interval, count, date) syntax, but there is an alternative Date and Time set of class for Java called JodaTime (joda-time.sourceforge.net/) that I have used before that are also very nice. To clarify my first post, the original code snippit may not work because it trys to set the day of the date to a negative number, which I think will get clamped to 1 ? -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
