How to set a default date value

[sabot1]

I have this input field in a popup window, but can not get it to show a default value.  Any ideas?

<cfinput type="datefield" name="blockDatePOP" id="blockDatePOP" value="#NOW()#" required="yes" message="You must enter a block date" mask="d mmm, yyyy"   />

Thanks,

Darrin

Does it work *not* in a popup window? I copied your code directly into a cfform and I got a date picker, defaulted to today.

it does not work in the popup, which is odd..... but that may be the issue.

Thanks

Maybe you should post your entire code for the page and the popup window.
