Replicant and FormAPI problem

I am having trouble with a javascript method involving replicants and FormAPI. I am using TeamSite 5.5.2 on Solaris.

Basically, the problem involves performing manipulations while saving a replicant field. I am unable to get the javascript code to compile past "alert(3)". Can someone please figure out what is wrong?? I have also enclosed my datacapture.cfg as an attachment.

function prepopulateDates( button )

{
date1 = new Date(2003,1,11,05,06,07);
date2 = new Date(2003,2,11,05,06,07);

alert( "1" );

var Promotions = new Array();
alert( "2" );
var PromotionItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/RegularPromotions");
alert( "3" );

Promotions = PromotionItem.getChildren();
alert( "4" );

for (j=0;i<Promotions.length;j++)

{
var childItem = Promotions;
var itemName = childItem.getName();

IWDatacapture.getItem( itemName + "/EffectiveDate" ).setValue( getRegexDate( 0 ));

// more code here -- but I am unable to get this far!!!

Thanks in advance!!

On line
Promotions = PromotionItem.getChildren();
you need to declare promotions. so I guess the line should read as
var Promotions = PromotionItem.getChildren();

On Line
IWDatacapture.getItem( itemName + "/EffectiveDate" ).setValue( getRegexDate( 0 ));

This line should read as
var effectiveDateItem = IWDatacapture.getItem( itemName + "/EffectiveDate" );

effectiveDateItem.setValue( getRegexDate( 0 )); (Although I am not sure what you are trying to do here. I can see that you are trying to set a value. I am just not sure what getRegexDate( 0 ) does.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply, Smeeta. I have added your suggestions and even modified my code to parse the dates in the crudest manner, but still I am unable to load the child Xpaths into the array. Basically the code fails after alert '3' . I am really at a loss!!

function setModifiedBy()
{

alert( "1" );

var Promotions = new Array();
alert( "2" );
var PromotionItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/RegularPromotions");
alert( "3" );

var Promotions = PromotionItem.getChildren();
alert( "4" );

for (j=0;j<Promotions.length;j++)

{
var childItem = Promotions;
var itemName = childItem.getName();

var regEffDate = IWDatacapture.getItem( itemName + "/EffectiveDate" ).getValue();
var regEndDate = IWDatacapture.getItem( itemName + "/EndDate" ).getValue();

var regeffdate1month = regEffDate.substring(0,2);
var regeffdate1day = regEffDate.substring(3,5);
var regeffdate1year = regEffDate.substring(6,10);

alert( "5 " );

var regenddate1month = regEndDate.substring(0,2);
var regenddate1day = regEndDate.substring(3,5);
var regenddate1year = regEndDate.substring(6,10);

regdate1 = new Date(regeffdate1year,regeffdate1month,regeffdate1day);
regdate2 = new Date(regenddate1year,regenddate1month,regenddate1day);

alert( "6" );

var regdate3 = regdate1.valueOf();
var regdate4 = regdate2.valueOf();

if ( regdate3 >= regdate4 )
{
alert( "Regular Promotions cannot begin after the end date !!" );
return( false );
}
}

var item = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Modified");
item.setValue(IWDatacapture.getUser());
item.setVisible(true);
item.setReadOnly(true);
IWDatacapture.redraw();
// alert( "datecheck working dude!! " + month + " " + day + " " + year );
return( true );
}
