Numeric Field Name?

hmmm not sure how to make that work, I didn't even know you
could have 
numeric object names in javascript (I'm pretty sure you
cannot).

Basically the script uses the fieldname as an identifier in
the pages 
dom as access to the calendar control and uses a javascript
variable 
as the fieldname you specify in string format to the
constructor.

And, under the hood, i am using the javascript
"eval()" statement to 
convert that string to the actual js variable that holds the
control 
and its properties.  So passing in "010101" as the
field name would 
eval out to a numeric number and therefore fail when trying
to set 
properties etc.  

So really the only way I can think of doing that would be to
prefix 
your fieldname with "cal_" or "txt_"
(like "cal_010101" and pass that 
in as the variable name in the constructor). and then to
translate 
back to your field names for the app you are using, just
strip off the 
first 4 characters of the variable name...

Or you could always tweak the code to allow another property
to hold 
that numeric field value from the other app...

hope this helps..
