7.2 Populating fields with computed values

The following sample populates a user input field of a PSM document with the current date (New Document

section). First a string is created (toDay) with the current date. The last line in the code retrieves the input

field based on the fields label (Today:) and populates the input field with the computed date string.

$(document).ready( function(){

var currentDate = new Date()

var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1

var day = currentDate.getDate()

var year = currentDate.getFullYear()

var toDay = month + "/" + day + "/" + year

$("span:contains('Today:')").next("input").val(toDay);

});

</script>

Todays date is automatically entered in the input field.

The code sample could be added directly into the template.php file and/or included using an external

Javascript file.
