[HTML_Quickform] pass thru of attributes in date?

Hi, I have just started with PHP and Quickform, so please excuse my ignorance if this is stupid. I want to be able to specify a stylesheet definition on each of the select boxes on date, and even though I create the date element thus: $form->addElement('date', 'cny_reg_date', 'Date:', array('format'=>'d-F-Y'), "class=\"selbox\""); My stylesheet does not get passed through. So I have edited date.php as follows (only included one switch statement - you get the drift) switch ($sign) { case "D" : // Sunday is 0 like with 'w' in date() $options = $this->_options[$this->language]["weekdays_short"]; $this->dateSelect[$sign] = &new HTML_QuickForm_select($selectName); $this->dateSelect[$sign]->load($options, $selectedValue); ---> $this->dateSelect[$sign]->setAttributes($this->_attributes); break; I hope this is valid - I'm reluctant to create my own element and register that (mainly because I have no idea how to do that yet!). Quickforms is allowing me to delete vast amounts of code I previously wrote to process forms - thanks! Best wishes Geoff -- Geoff Hopson Objectology Ltd. http://www.objectology.co.uk/
