thanks, but still problem:

2003-04-16 21:41:01
2003-04-16 21:-9:01

i changed the -10 to -50, to test, and here is the results!!!

Of course it will it is only set to take of 10 minute - if you want to take of more you will need to modify the +50 argument too

ok, excellent. about the pop up calendar, is there any chance of helping me out please. i have a pop up one that only has the date. please.

What EXCATLY do you want?

Thanks,

a pop up calendar, that helps the user to input the date and time, instead of having to type 0000-00-00 00:00:00, he would simply click on this javascript pop up calendar, that displays, a list of options for the user to select!!!!

but with the time as well.

i really appeciate your help, thanks a million

thanks.

there is this one as well:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...pcalendar2.htm

Well! The first one failed with Mozilla and the second one worked but there was no time. Why do you need them to select a time if it is automatically created? Can you not just use drop down elements in forms?

hi

The reason for this, is because i am using the form values to query MySQL. i require date and time to query data. i know the second one does date only, but i would like to have time as well.

cheers

Is there a reason that this isn't viable?

hi

how do you do that?
