Hi,

it would be good to have a button next to a date/datetime field that inserts 
the current date into the field (via JavaScript). Example: in our Wiki we have 
a "Task end date", which should only be filled in after the task ended (so 
default value that's set from the beginning is not a solution).
Most of the time people will fill in that information on the same day that the 
task actually ends, and then it would be very convenient to just click a button.

Maybe it's not a feature that needs to be in Semantic Forms (although I could 
imagine a new parameter that causes a button to be placed next to the date / 
datetime input fields).
Can anyone think of another way I could get a button into that form?

I figured out that the HTML/JavaScript would have to look like this:

<input type="button" value="Fill in current date" name="fill_in_enddate" 
onClick="mydate=new Date(); 
document.createbox.input_12_day.value=mydate.getDate()">

- but how could I put this into the form, without making my own new extension, 
which I currently consider overkill?

Patrick.
