[WDSCI-L] Webfaced Application with javascript

[Duane Kehoe <dkehoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I am webfacing some applications which require the user to input a date,
   therefore I would like to use a popup calendar for the input versus keying
   the data in.  I have downloaded a javascript calendar called
   jscalendar(www.dynarch.com) which will do what I need but I am having a
   problem with getting everything to work in the JSP.  I am sure my issue is
   related to being very new to JSPs and web development as the calendar does
   "popup" and return the date appropriately to the input field yet my server
   reports an exception error of illegal start of statment and the app dies. 
   I have pasted the code below for my java script section, any assistance is
   greatly appreciated.

   this code is in pagebuilder.jsp to get javascript included:
   <style type="text/css">@import
   url(/weycoretail/webfacing/includes/jscalendar/calendar-win2k-1.css);</style>
   <script type="text/javascript"
   src="/weycoretail/webfacing/includes/jscalendar/calendar.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript"
   
src="/weycoretail/webfacing/includes/jscalendar/lang/calendar-en.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript"
   src="/weycoretail/webfacing/includes/jscalendar/calendar-setup.js"></script>

   this code is in my record format's jsp source:
   <TD NOWRAP rowspan=1>
   <form method="get">
       <input name="PROMPT$STRDT" <% if (isProtected) { %> readonly
   tabindex=-1 <% } %> id="PROMPT$STRDT"
   previousValue="<%=PROMPT.getFieldValueWithTransform("STRDT",
   QUOTED_TRANSFORM)%>"  <%{DisplayAttributeBean dsplAttrBean = new
   DisplayAttributeBean(); dsplAttrBean.addColourIndExpr("white","");
   dsplAttrBean.setReverseIndExpr(" 99"); %>
   class="<%=isProtected?"wf_pr":""%>
   <%=PROMPT.evaluateStyleClass(dsplAttrBean)%>" <%}%>
   VALUE="<%=PROMPT.getFieldValueWithTransform("STRDT", QUOTED_TRANSFORM)%>"
   size="10" maxlength="10" />
       <button id="trigger">...</button>
   </form>
   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">   
       Calendar.setup(
           {
           inputField : "PROMPT$STRDT",
           ifFormat : "%Y-%m-%d",
           button : "trigger"
           }
       );
   </script>
   </td>
