Hi guys I was wondering if, using JQuery or anything possible, I could could click on the "Completed" button and it would check the date on which it was created and it would enter that detail in the "Completed" column
In my Assessment table in the sql database[/quote]

I know this reply is a little late but what you can do is make the "Completed" column in the database a DATETIME type or TIMESTAMP type. That way it will just log the current time of when the data was submitted to the database.
