getAttribute date Problem

[EDN Admin]

All,
The code below works very well to add elements to my database. If you look closely you will see that this line (rs("RoundDate") = "" & score.getAttribute("rd") & "") is remarked out. This is because if it is allowed to run in my .asp file, the
whole thing stops working and an error occurs. I can see that a "short" date date string is being passed that looks liike this "3/14/2012" but the .getAttribute does not like the "date" type string.

Is there a trick to sending dates as an attribute?
Thank you.
