Click checkbox to auto populate text box with current time

[kanzulu]

Hello, 

Please help. I am looking for a script that can associate a checkbox and a text field formated to display the current time (hhmm 2400 hours format). When a check box is clicked the text box should display the current time as read only. This is for QA and making sure certain tasks are completed within a certain time frame. Is there a code I can use for this? I really appreciate any help you can provide

Thank you !

What should happen when the check-box is unticked?

When the box is unchecked the text field should be cleared. That way when the operator can correct the time entry by checking the box again if needed.

Thank you

Let's say the text field is called "QATime". Enter this code as the MouseUp event of the check-box:

this.getField("QATime").value = (event.target.value=="Off") ? "" : util.printd("HH:MM", new Date());

Works like a charm! I thank you so much for what you do!
