Validation (Date) script from "Javascript Source"

I have been using this Vaildation (Date) javascript from “Javascript Source” for some time now but have recently encountered a problem.

I have an application where I need to use a text link rather than a button to initiate the date check and had expected to be able to use:

<a href=”javascript:doDateCheck(this.form.from, this.form.to);” title=”Check Dates”>Check Dates</a>

in my form, instead of the usual button shown in the sample html page:

<input type=”button” name=”checkbutton” onClick=”doDateCheck(this.form.from, this.form.to);” value=”Check Dates”>

Although the alternative text link works fine in Internet Explorer and Opera browsers, it will not work with Firefox or Netscape browsers.

I wonder if any of you have any suggestions?
