I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
FP didn't assign a name to the form.
And the script will not run unless it has a name.
If you want check out Marscopiers.com
You will not see the javascript since it's in a external js file.
But the calendar popup is in public domain thanks to the wishes of the
author.

=====
Someone assigned the name 'FreightRequest'
And the script *will* run without a name - a numbered reference is
sufficient
To be more precise,
I did check out marscopier.com and your HTML reads (in part)
<td width="26%">
<input type="text" value="" name="RequestedDate" size="25">
<A HREF="#"
onClick="cal.select(document.forms['FreightRequest'].RequestedDate,'anchor1','MM/dd/yyyy');
return false;" NAME="anchor1" ID="anchor1">Select Date</A>
</td>
Without even looking at CalendarPopup(), this implies that the form
'FreightRequest' must exist and in it must be a field "RequestedDate"
The only form that I can find is
<form name="FrontPage_Form1".....
and the input field with name="RequestedDate" is in this form.
I suggest changing the form name to 'FreightRequest'
Either that, or do as suggested by the comment in
http://marscopiers.com/JavaScript/CalendarPopup.js
// This is an example call to the popup calendar from a link to populate an
// input box. Note that to use this, date.js must also be included!!
<A HREF="#"
onClick="cal.select(document.forms[0].date,'anchorname','MM/dd/yyyy');
return false;">Select</A>
document.forms[0] is a reference is to the first (and only) form on the HTML
page
BTW, I can't see where function FrontPage_Form1_Validator() is called

Thanks changing the anchor reference to document.forms[0] worked.
I didn't catch the fact that the form name was overwritten with
FrontPage_Form1
I originally called the form FreightRequest.
I haven't worked much with Frontpage. I've been mostly developing web
apps with DNN recently, and prior to that I mostly used Dreamweaver.
So it's the little things that Frontpage does that I'm not aware of.
Again thanks for everyones help.
