I would like to collect credit card expiry dates but do not want to use separate Month and Year database fields. Is there a way with Javascript to hide the Day or DD dropdown so that it displays with only the MM and YYYY dropdowns?

You can use a regular text field for this purpose and masked edit control (part of ASPRunnerPro 7.1). You can specify all possible values in the mask.

Ok, but I'm using 7.0 and its a date field. I've seen in the PHP forum this exact question and a Javascript answer was provided. However, I cannot make that PHP Javascript work in my ASP project. If you would kindly provide a JS option, it would be better for me.

Javascript works the same in any application. There is not such thing as "PHP" or "ASP" Javascript.
Here are instructions, pure Javascript:

This still doesn't address what I am looking for. I'm dealing with dropdowns, not text fields. Would you please be so kind as to help me translate this for use with ASP.

$("select[id^='dayvalue_yourdatefieldname']").val("1").trigger("change").hide();

You won't be able to make it work using dropdowns. The fact that day dropdown box is hidden won't help you save value in MM\YYYY format.
You have two real options here:

  1. create your own custom control that displays two dropdowns and saves data in required format
  2. or use masked edit control
