Rene,

This is what I have on my checkout.html page:

[snip]
<td class=form>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="arrival" VALUE="[value arrival]" size=20><br>
<font size="1">Date Format: February 9, 2003</font>
</td>
[/snip]

It simply takes the arrival date as the customer inputs it. Thus my
attempt to provide the format by example, as I prefer. 

Even a simple error message would work if they didn't provide the 
correct date format. Kind of like the email component when it's not
xxx@xxx.xxx.

I know it's hard to make these checkouts dummy proof, but it's even more
difficult trying to figure out if 7/6/03 is July 6 or June 7. The date system
is opposite between the U.S. and Europe.

thx, Greg G.
