Hi,

Try this. 

<script>
document.formWarpRequest.elements["txtDateSBDR"].value='select an date/enter an date';
</script>

where SBDR is an prompt name and set the Select UI property=Edit box.

thanks,

Hi,

It is quite simple.  please Apply the same to "From" also.

Example:
For "From Date:" use below script
<script>
document.formWarpRequest.elements["txtDateSBDR"].value='select an date/enter an date';
</script>

where SBDR-->prompt name and set the Select UI property=Edit box.



For "To Date:" Use below script
<script>
document.formWarpRequest.elements["txtDateEBDR"].value='select an date/enter an date';
</script>

where EBDR-->prompt name and  set the Select UI property=Edit box.


Thanks,
yogeswari.
