date validate

[Andrew]

Hi,

How can I validate a date, like 3/26/04, before submitted?
Thanks for any idea.

Re: date validate

If you want to do it BEFORE it's submitted, you'd want to use client-side
code for that, not ASP.

If you want ASP examples, can you answer these questions?

1. Validate it in what way? That it's a valid date? That it's a specific
day of the week? The the day number of the year is a primary number? That
it's not in the future? That it's one of a few in a list of specific dates?
ETc. etc.

2. What language are you using in your ASP pages?

Re: date validate

Yes, I want client side validation samples. Because the datetime field of
table of DB only accept 03/26/2004, 3/26/2004 or 03/26/04, how can I make a
client side script to validate the date value? I prefer Jscript to VBs in
client side, and reverse in server side. Thanks

This group focuses on server-side programming. If you want to use client
side, try a javascript group or m.p.scripting.j script.

Oh really? what kind of odd database system is this? Please READ this.
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2260 If you don't read at all, at least
search the page for "YYYYMMDD" and read the area around it.

I meant "If you don't read IT all." I wasn't trying to say you don't read
AT all. Oops!

Keep in mind that client side validation is not reliable. What happens when
someone comes along with JavaScript turned off? If this is critical, you
would be better off doing this server side, or possibly both (JavaScript to
provide instant validation, Server Side to catch those that fall through the
cracks by having JS turned off).
