Hi Philippe,
I've never had any luck passing parameters into a javascript macro the way
Eric shows. What's happening, is that the macro is seeing the literal
string "{{!!bestbefore}}".
What format are you using for your dates? Hmm ... looks like you're using
the TW format. Not my first choice.
Let me see if I can set your code up the way I use it .... BRB
