Hi Hans,

I play with following file to get a field with the current date:
(my first try with JS)

\setupoutput [pdftex]
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setupinteraction[state=start,
color=red,
openaction=ResetForm,
closeaction=ExitViewer]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=max]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\startJScode{Datum}
  { this.d = new Date();
    event.value = util.printd("dd. mmmm yyyy", d); }
\stopJScode
\setupfield [DatumSetup] [frame=off,width=8cm,height=7mm,validate=JS(Datum)]
\definefield [datum] [line] [DatumSetup]
\starttext
today is the: \raise-2.2mm\hbox{\field[datum]}

\goto{Reset}[ResetForm]
\stoptext

when i open the pdf with acrobat reader the field is empty.
i must click on the link with the same reference
or fill something in the field and press enter.
with acrobat exchange i found no openaction in the pdf.
is there a smarter way to define such a date field?
