Hi all,

I have a php form that has a pull down select for MONTH and one for YEAR

- usually when the form is submitted you would combine them at the other end 
like 0517 (like credit card exp date) - but in this case I need to combine them 
prior to submitting the form...

I don't know javascript but I'm curious if someone might know a way to use javascript (or 
some other method) to set another input field - EXPDATE - to contain the value "MONTH 
& YEAR" combined prior to submitting the form?

... and in this case the form is going outside my site and other reasons so 
it's best to set this up prior to submitting the form.

So - create another field on your form. Add an onclick event to your submit button. Have it run a js function that takes the two fields and places them into the new field.

function combineFields()
{
  var mm = document.getElementById("monthfld").value;
  var yy = document.getElementById('yearfld").value;
  document.getElementByID("mmyy").value = ""+mm+yy;
  return true;
}

Might have to play with this syntax to avoid the values being arithmetically added instead of concatenated, but this is one way.

And of course - you could try posting on a js site instead of a php one.

Thanks so much Jim - I will check into this.... (and I did just join a

HTH.
BTW - I see a small typo in my concat statement - 'Id', not 'ID'.
