mmddyyyy format for text entry field

 The TAB action sounds like a possibility. However, I don't know how to do the javascript part of it. :(


I did come up with a work-around. It's not perfect but... I created a variable that holds the formatted date, ex. 12/12/2008. I put a kestroke TAB action on the page to Change Contents of my Entry Text field IF the entry text = 12122008. When the user tabs out of the field the formatted date displays if they entered 12122008. If it doesn't match, then an unformatted entry remains in the field. Of course this only works because there is a specific date that should be entered in the field. If it were today's date for instance, I'd be sunk!
