I am trying to replicate a question posed by Pieter Jaspers regarding a conversion of a form from UIApp to HTML. The original question is:

If I replicate the code exactly I get the correct result, but when I try to recreate my inline form and amalgamate the two I am not getting a result. The inline form question is here:
HTML inline form formatting question answered by Mogsdad
The code I have so far is in the requisite number of parts, a form and two .gs sheets. I have checked for spelling mistakes and I have tried editing out each line to see what and where I get, but with my limited experience I am drawing a blank. The only minor success is if I run the function InsertInSS()
from within the code editor. This posts the word "undefined" in the correct cell in the correct spreadsheet, but not the date as I am trying to do!
Form:
<!-- Use a templated HTML printing scriptlet to import common stylesheet. -->
<?!= HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Stylesheet').getContent(); ?>
<html>
<body>
<div>
<!-- Page header title & 'completion warning -->
<span class="grey"><b>ProReactive Log Form v3.0.74</b></span>
<h4>Complete ALL fields to ensure the form is processed successfully</h4>
<div class="block">
<!-- First input box created -->
<div class="inline form-group">
<label form="date">Date</label>
<input type="date" id="date" style="width: 125px;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End of fields for completion, finish form with submission button -->
<button class="share" onclick="runGoogleScript()">submit</button>
</body>
</html>
<script>
function onSuccess(argReturnValue){
alert('was successful ' +argReturnValue);
//ResetFields on Screen
Document.getElementById("date").value = "";
}
function runGoogleScript() {
logger.log('v3.0.74 ran!');
var inputValue = document.getElementById("date").value;
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(onSuccess)
.InsertInSS(inputValue);
};
</script>
The Code.gs:
function doGet(e) {
return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('myForm')
.evaluate()
.setTitle('ProReactiveLog')
.setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.NATIVE);
};
and the seperate.gs:
function InsertInSS(argPassedInName) {
var ssKey = '1cZuEMDrIyzIFm4lGCT20s-Wpv27o0hbbZAsxD1WJFL8';
var SS = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssKey);
var Sheet = SS.getSheetByName('LOG');
Sheet.getRange(Sheet.getLastRow()+1,1,1).setValue(argPassedInName);
}
Any ideas where I am going wrong? All help as ever, greatly appreciated.
An Apps script HTML App, will not allow a date object to be passed to the server.
google.script.run Parameter Documentation
The documentation states:
You will need to pass the date as a string. Convert the date to a string in client side code, and convert it back to a date, if need be, in the server code. However, even if you set the value in the spreadsheet as a string, it may get coerced back into a date without you needing to do anything. Especially if you have that column defined as a date in the spreadsheet.
