Colby,
The onblur handler is client-side, so you should be using JavaScript for
the diff function, not CF. Grab a JavaScript reference (see
developer.netscape.com) and use the Date object and its methods.
If you want to use CF, you must submit the form and do the CF computation
on the form's action page.
