Date Validation

[adamjblakey]

Hi,

How would i change this to check if the date in the field is at least 2 days in front of today's? Must work with this format yyyy-mm-dd

 

if (form.arrivaldate.value == "") {
    alert( "Please make sure your arrival date is at least 2 days in front of today's date" );
    form.arrivaldate.focus();
    return false ;
  }

Cheers,
Adam

I am assuming "in front of" means "before" today's date - yes?

[CODE=javascript]if (CheckDate(form .arrivaldate.va lue) == false) {
alert( "Please make sure your arrival date is at least 2 days in front of today's date" );
form.arrivaldat e.focus();
return false ;
}
[/CODE]

[CODE=vb]<script language=vbscri pt>

function CheckDate(sDate )

if DateDiff("d", sDate, Now()) < 2 then
CheckDate = false
else
CheckDate = true
end if

end function

</script>[/CODE]

var val='2008/02/7';// date input

[CODE=javascript]// get todays date and subtract 2 days

var d1=new Date();
d1.setDate(d1.g etDate()-2);

// or 48 hours: d1.setHours(d1. getHours()-48);
// make a date object from the input-
// this assumes January is input as 1, not 0:

var d2= val.split(/\W+/);
d2=new Date(d2[0]*1,d2[1]-1,d2[2]*1);

//see if the input is after the limit:

if(d2 > d1) alert('bad date')// throw error message
else alert('good date');[/CODE]

Why use vbscript, when JavaScript can do it?

PS. please use code tags.

Hi,

I am trying:

 var val=(form.arrivaldate.value);// date input 
	 
	var d1=new Date();
	d1.setHours(d1.getHours()+48);
	
	// or 48 hours: d1.setHours(d1.getHours()-48);
	// make a date object from the input-
	// this assumes January is input as 1, not 0:
	var d2= val.split(/\W+/);
	
	d2=new Date(d2[0]*1,d2[1]-1,d2[2]*1);
	
	//see if the input is after the limit:
	if(d2 > d1) {
	alert( "Please a date at least 2 days after today's date" );
    form.arrivaldate.focus();
    return false ;
	}

But this does not cover the 2 days after today's date. What this does is goes 2 days ahead and then does not allow any days after this. I need it to work for just the 2 days after today's date.

Any Ideas?

Cheers,
Adam

d1 is two days after today's date. You need to change the if statement comparison around:
[code=javascript]//see if the input is after the limit:
if(d2 <= d1) {[/code]

Thanks for that, it works fine.
