After you change format to something more conventional....

if(isNaN((new Date(dateString)).valueOf()))
return false;

Thanks for your response

The script that you posted will check for valid numeric, but it will not flag 06312004 as an invalid date, am I correct.

I guess maybe I am looking for to much. I need to do full date validation.

Any suggestions

Thanks
Clyde

You can check-out this thread (http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?threadid=26410&highlight=date) to see if it meets your requirments.

Note that the format for this script is MM/DD/YYYY so you'd
need to combine your CY/YY fields into one. I believe the
RegExp uses either "/" or "-" delimiters between fields.
