I thought that's what I was trying (see examples below).
The only thing I've been able to do is chain two functions
together (onblur="newDate(['date'],['form2_date']);newDate
(['date'],['form3_date']);"). Maybe a problem with TT?
But you gave me a clue...I don't need to check the date or
anything else server-side, so I wrote my own javascript
function. Wasn't as hard as I thought.
Thanks,
Jon

"CGI::Ajax supports methods that return single results or multiple
results to the web page, and supports returning values to multiple DIV
elements on the HTML page."
So, one or more values or form elements' values can be passed to the
server, and multiple values can be returned -- to multiple/different
DOM elements.
Possibly the problem with Jon's original attempt is a missing single
quote before form3_date:

> > form3_date']);">
Sometimes I do a "view source" in FireFox, which will highlight a
missing ' or ".
