Hmmmm.... I see. Well, we can always write the script right here. :) So.. What's it supposed to do? Something like this...

<html><head>
<script>
var ageWin;
var config = "height=400,width=300"; //add your window configurations
function testAge(){
if(document.ageForm.age<18){
ageWin = window.open("","ageWin",config);
with(ageWin.document){
writeln("<html><head><title>You are underage</title></head>");
writeln("<body><h1>You are underaged to view this site. Please exit <a href=\"javascript:opener.location='http://yahoo.com/';self.close();\">here</a>.</h1></body></html>");
} } }
</script></head><body>
<form name="ageForm">
<input type=text name="age"><br>
<input type=button value="Click here" onClick="testAge();">
</form></body></html>

Oh, if that is what you're trying to accomplish, it takes multiple form fields. But--does the month/day need to be in there? If so, what is the youngest date possible to be eighteen?

Here's a link to a very simple age redirection script:

http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/age-redirect.html

It used alert boxes but it'd be easy to switch those to text boxes and have the age redirection take place when the form is submitted.

If you need any help with this let me know.

Hi Guys
lowest age which is 18 is one thing I didnt thing about and when i did
it is a problem as it will change each day
today in OZ is 23-04-2003 so to enter site today the higest date inserted in form could be 23-04-1985 but tomorrow it would be 24-04- 1985



maybe Havik idea of useing current form and and apapting
redirect script will work.

to be honest it doesnt stop under ages view they just have to do the math and say they were born in 1985.

guys any help on this problem would be most appreciated
as my script skills avery limited

regards
Don

Well, how about get the current date, put it in the format dd/mm/yy, and then search through it to see if it is equal to or less than the difference of the two.

like cuurent date eg 23/04/2003 -18 = any date less than23/04/1985 will trigger corret redirect ?

sounds good can thsi be worked in to a script?

Jona

Dude, what the heck anyway? I mean, why not let's just do the year or something. This is driving me nuts (on my spare time! :p). I've never been good with the date object... They have to agree to get in, so why bother with age validation? Just wondering.....

stil not work will have a play today when i get up
I appreciate all your help, that the thing ihttp://www.jervisbaytourism.com/hp/ like about this fourm every one i have texted with have been extremly helpfully.

Jona if there is any thing I can help you with please dont hesitate to contsact me.

Iam baker by trade only do web as hobie so this is all a big learning curve for me

If you need help with the ASP, you can try posting in the ASP forum... Like I said I could probably do it with Javascript, but... I've never been good with the date object. Sorry. :o
