<br />
function MoveRight()<br />
{<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var d = document.all;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var dt = new Date(d.hidStartDate.value)<wbr />;&lt;BR&gt;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with (dt) {&lt;BR&gt;     setDate(getDate(<wbr />) + 7);&lt;BR&gt;}<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
