newbie needs a bit more help

[WindAndWaves]

Hi Gurus

I have a form where the user can enter a date. It then uses it to find a
bookmark:

document.location.href='#' + form.day.value + form.month.value +
form.year.value;

I would like to use a similar concept to complete a form inputbox with the
date, as follows: day-month-year (e.g. 01-10-05 or 01-Oct-05)

Can anyone help?

TIA

- Nicolaas

Help via FAQ section 3.2; also see below.

Strongly recommend that you do not use ISO 8601 preferred date separator
with non-8601 field order in all-numeric dates, that you use 4-digit
years, and that you use ISO field order YMD.
