Deafualt the current Date

[Help Me]

I am using the following code to try to autofill a date time picker with the
current date. But it is giving me a null or is not an object error on the
line that says "if (xmlNode.getAttribute("xsi:nil")) " Can anyone see why?

function XDocument::OnLoad(eventObj)
{
if (!(XDocument.IsNew))
return;

if (XDocument.IsSigned)
return;

var now = new Date();

var xmlNode =
XDocument.DOM.documentElement.selectSingleNode("my:myFields/myateSubmitted");

if (xmlNode.getAttribute("xsi:nil"))
xmlNode.removeAttribute("xsi:nil");
xmlNode.text = getDateString(now);
}

function getDateString(oDate)
{
if (oDate == null)
oDate = new Date();

var m = oDate.getMonth() + 1;
var d = oDate.getDate();

if (m < 10)
m = "0" + m;

if (d < 10)

d = "0" + d;

return oDate.getFullYear() + "-" + m + "-" + d;
}

Hi,

Was using the today() or now() functions for the default value too
easy? Or is there a reason for bypassing them for your particular use
case?

Infopath will not let me put in today() or now() funcions in to the default
value. It says "Value is not vaild for field type".

Hi,

Yes it's in SP1. It wasn't in the original release.

SP1 adds a lot of useful functionality to the user interface.

Do you any reason for not upgrading to SP1? I guess the downloads are
fairly large.
