   Doug Cooper to All   
   New user birth date prompt   
   23 Aug 21 12:27:00   
   
   From: nospam.Doug.Cooper@f702.n227.z1.fidonet.org   
      
   g00r00 or someone who may know,   
      
   I am trying to make a "form" style new user login with everything on one page   
   such as:   
      
   Alias   
   Real Name   
   Gender   
   Location   
   Birth Date   
   E-Mail Address   
   User Note   
   etc.   
      
   All is working very nicely with the exception of birthdate.   
      
   In testing, when I reach "birth date," I type it into it's designated   
   x/y location (approxmately Y12 X48).  Input works just fine.  However after   
   hitting [ENTER] the birthdate disappears, adds several blank spaces, clearing   
   my ansi border to the right, then down one line by approximately 7 characters.   
      
   So what should look like   
      
   [*] Enter your Birthdate      :                                [*]   
   [*] Enter your E-Mail Address :                                [*]   
      
   Looks like   
      
   [*] Enter your Birthdate      :   
       Enter your E-Mail Address :                                [*]   
      
   by the time the birthdate is entered.   
      
   Is there a hidden prompt adding these spaces, and/or some trick I can do to   
   keep this from happening?   
      
   Any help is mucho appreciated!
