In my experience users tend to like seperate input fields like: Day: <input type=="text" name="day"> / Month: <input type=="text" name="month"> / Year: <input type=="text" name="year"> Then you can assemble it again in the "action" script like: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('dateString', day+month+year)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('date', DateTime(dateString))"> regards Max M

I want to use a date property to store a user entered date into a ZClass property; the date must be entered in "%d/%m/%&y" format (I am from Europe (-;)).
