can't get a javascript with return to work on php

[Anonymous]

i am tying to use a javascript inside a php code i can't get it to work.

echo "<td nowrap align=right><input value='".$table_row[$row['Column_name']]."' type=text size=20 name='".strtr('index'.$row['Column_name'], " ", "_")."' onfocus='javascript:selectAll( document.forms[0].".strtr('index'.$row['Column_name'], ' ', '_').");'";
if($row['Column_name'] == 'Date')
{                  
    echo " MAXLENGTH=10 size=10 onKeyDown='javascript:return dFilter(event.keyCode, this, '##-##-####','0');'";                                                                                  
/*
?>
MAXLENGTH=10 size=10 onKeyDown="javascript:return dFilter (event.keyCode, this, '##-##-####','0');" >;                                           
<?
*/
}

this is the part that is not working

echo " MAXLENGTH=10 size=10 onKeyDown='javascript:return dFilter(event.keyCode, this, '##-##-####','0');'";

could it be because it has a return? cause the other javascript is working. :?: [/code]

You should not have a return there.

Also, if you are expecting some kind of return from the function you are calling (dFilter), don't. You might want to reconsider your program structure if you need to use the value being returned.

Hope that helps if any
