You'll have to be more specific than that. Post your script. This place isn't exactly for professionals to give "freebies" to people. :D

Really all I need is a link to a tutorial in regular expressions for javascript. I can probably do the rest from there.

I don't know of any online tutorials offhand. But you can try searching Google. I always find information I need there...

After having read my response at that link, consider this. If your intention is to validate a date of the format dd/mm/yyyy, you'll be better off trying to convert the string to a date with that format and catch any exception. RegExp can be used to make sure that you have 2 digits followed by a slash followed by another 2 digits followed by another slash followed by 4 digits. But does that tell you if the date is valid? No, it will not catch invalid month number (00, 13 - 99), nor will it cash a a bad day.

Good luck!
