JavaScript Forum

**BigDaddy13** · 05-10-2010, 03:01 PM

I currently have javascripts in place to help me get better data.
For example: I have an alert if a school is not selected and an alert
if a date is not put in.
I need a script that will help me validate the date.
I don't want them putting future dates or 2008 dates in
and I want the date to be in the format of dd/mm/yyyy

Any help, thoughts or suggestions would greatly be appreciated!!!

use three select boxes for day month and year

Thanks for your response!
I already have the jquery date picker working with it
and I just want a back up plan if they decide to enter
the date manually.
The date picker will enter it right, but sometimes
they get a little crazy and enter it themselves.
Hope that makes sense! LOL

Just a quick security note: you'll need to validate your date on the server side code as well, not just with JavaScript. JavaScript can be turned off.
