date validation

[Abhiram88]

Hi All,

I want to validate a date field so that it accepts only dates less than the current date .It shouldnt take the current date also.

Pls provide me the script to do the same..

I tried something but its accepting current date also.

Pls help

Thanks

Hi Abhiram,

I would guess you have to remove the time part of the date before doing the comparision.

Something like this, which I have in the exit event.

if (!this.isNull)

{

    if (this.formattedValue === this.rawValue) // this assumes there is a display pattern defined

    {

        app.alert("Invalid date format");

    }

    var thisDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", this.rawValue).setHours(0,0,0,0); // Make sure there is no time component

    if (thisDate >= new Date().setHours(0,0,0,0))

    {

        app.alert("Date must be in the past");

    }

}

Regards

Bruce
