RE: [Javascript] Tabbing past the bottom of the windowThere's probably a way
to mask it, but I wouldn't want to try when you can just do three fields.
Besides, validation goes so much more easily this way...

  Hi Everyone,

  This is obviously a newbies question but I can't find any reference to it
anywhere else.
  Can you put an input mask on a form input field for a date. eg. __/__/__
or something so that the user only has to type in the numbers and not the
/'s. (as in MS Access)
  Or is it better to use 3 fields close together , one for each of month,
day and year.

  Thanks

  Bill
