Yes, ridiculous when I know jquery not better than I should. thanks for the very simple method of assigning date :)

Also thanks for the info to debug my code. I finally got some results. Apparently i have to use 'keyword' as a param somewhere, but I think I just give up at this point and will resort to one-at-a-time page submissions... going to be a small pain for my customer, but maybe revise it later.
