I need help on a numeric validation.

[betoelbicho]

I need to validate a date, DD/MM/YYYY, also, DD must be in 01 to 31 range and MM on 01 to 12 range

could someone please tell me how to do it... it's kinda urgent and I'm new to Javascript .. plz?

Off the top of my head

function testDate(inputDate){
var tDate=new Date(inputDate.substr(0,2),inputDate.substr(3,2),inputDate.substr(6,4));
if (tDate.getMonth()+1 == inputDate.substr(0,2) && tDate.getDate() ==  inputDate.substr(3,2) && tDate.getFullYear() == inputDate.substr(6,4) ) 
alert("Valid Date");
}

Might be a typo or two in there, but should be close.

can't i validate it using regular expressions????

How would a regular expression know if February should have 28 or 29 days?

This proves I need to be locked up.

(((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|30)/(0[13-9]|1[012])|(31/(0[13578]|1[02]))|((0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-8])/02)))/[0-9]{4}|(29/02/(([02468][048]|[13579][26])00|[0-9]{2}(0[48]|[13579][26]|[2468][048])))

Does this do the job? Does it actually work?

I just found a place to test it, and edited it to remove a bug.
Another bug fix-- man, this isn't easy!
By George, I think I've got it!
