Hi:

Is Startdate a field in your form?

You can get the value with something like:

var startDate = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:startDate").text;

With the xpath in bold replaced with your xpath. You'll need to convert the resulting string to a date. I'm not terribly JavaScript-y, but a quick search online suggested you might be able to just pass in the string when you create the new date:

var start = new Date(startDate)

Set default date as output.

Hi,

My requirement is i have a startdate using datepicker and the end date should be qutomatically filled as {Startdate+3}. I'm not using infopath 2007, so i cannot use addDays function. I'm writing a code like

This code gets the default date as today and sets the value to current date+3. But i want (startdatevalue+3)

// Get today's date
    var three_days_from_now = new Date();
    // add three days
    three_days_from_now.setDate(three_days_from_now.getDate() + 3);

    // Select the node where the value will be stored
    var targetNode = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:threeDaysFromNow");

    // If the node has a nil attribute it needs to be removed
    var nilAttribute = targetNode.getAttributeNode("xsi:nil");
    if(nilAttribute != null)
    {
        targetNode.removeAttributeNode(nilAttribute);
    }

    // Store the date in XML format YYYY-MM-DD, adding zeros where necessary
    targetNode.text = three_days_from_now.getFullYear() + '-' +
       zeroPad(three_days_from_now.getMonth() + 1, 2) + '-' + zeroPad(three_days_from_now.getDate(), 2);

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Monisha
