Confirmation Number

M

Matt

I was wondering if there is some way to have a
confirmation number auto-generate in a normal form. Sort
of like when Access will create a record number.
Furthermore, if that isn't possible I wanted to use the
Date & Time as the confirmation number. (As the Date &
Time will never come around again). How can I have this
show up on a confirmation page. I attempted to use the
[Date] webbot confirmaiton field, however, it wont show
the time. (See website:
http://131.216.159.32/whitepine/reservations.htm
submit a form (using the name Steve Jones, so I know to
ignore it) and check where it says confirmation number.
Thanks!!!

You need to make that page .asp instead of .htm if you want to use ASP.

Then you could glop the day,mon,yr,h,m,s together to get a number like so:

<%
response.write day(date) & month(date) & year(date) & hour(time) &
minute(time) & second(time)
%>

Hi Matt,

You can use JavaScript on client side to create a confirmation number or use
the current date and time. To accomplish this via a date place the following
script in your head section.

<script>
function getToday() {
oDate = new Date();
sDate = '' + (oDate.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + oDate.getDate() + '-' +
oDate.getFullYear();
return sDate
}
</script>

Then if you have a form named myForm with a hidden field myDate

<form name="myForm">
<input type=text value="" name="myDate" >
</form>

you would use the following in the onload event of the body tag to load the
current date o

<body onload="myForm.myDate.value = getToday();">

If you wish to use something else change the function getToday
