Then too, the code of the formatDate( ) function requires more knowledge of JavaScript than I currently possess. This said, there are certainly other contexts where I can make good use of both the formatDate( ) function and the innerHTML method. In the end, thank you for your input. Even though it did not address my question directly, it has expanded my knowledge of JavaScript Roddy
