Well, I answered my own question.
it was the form name that was the problem.
It's an internal form tools form. The obvious answer I initially disregarded as it being a variable and not the form name. Alas, sometimes the simplest answer is correct.
var fielddate = document.edit_submission_form.Date_Of_Birth.value;
edit_submission_form was the answer I was looking for.
This wouldn't be the first time I answered my own question. I gotta start waiting a little longer before posting for help. Meanwhile I hope this helps someone along the way.
