I have a similiar problem.
I want to write one procedure (vbscript) for validation and one for saving
data to the DB. As i have a lot of textboxes (it's a grid of 3 by 7 --> 21)
i want to use only one procedure. But how to manage this??? The names of
the textboxes are dates and a indexed integer. How do i get the procedure
to check from which textbox the event came (onchange).
