Hi,

i am using loadVars to gather form data and send it to the formmail cgi on the server. This works fine for all textfields and comboboxes, but not the dateFields or numericSteppers, they always appear as “undefined”. I reckon its a problem with how those values are stored and how i am reading them out?

AS:

```
formdata = new LoadVars();

formdata.fCompany = this._parent.fCompany.getText(); &lt;- these work

formdata.fHistory3 = this._parent.fHistory3.getValue(); &lt;- this is a numericstepper and doesn't work
	
formdata.fDecDate = this._parent.fDecDate.getValue(); &lt;- this is a datefield and doesn't work

formdata.send("http://www.uniqueresorts.co.uk/cgi-bin/cgiemail/form.txt" , "", "POST");

```

Appreciate any help,

Seb
