Date Validation

[clyde]

If I Have The User Enter a Date, Is There a Function to determine if the date is Valid.

Thanks

If you give me the format that you want the date in, I can write a regex for you.... Do you want it like this? xx/xx/xxxx

[clyde]

xx/xx/xxxx is the correct format

Ok, try something like this:function validate(){
if(/^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}$/i.test(document.formname.inputname.value)){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}

Just to add to the answers...above
Date object has a parse() method,if the date is parsed its a good format else iits not

Here is how it would work

user inputs a date
var userInput = "07*25*2003";
alert(Date.parse(userInput))
will return NaN

var userInput = "07-25-2003";
alert(Date.parse(userInput))
will return result in milliseconds
