    Whether I have a textbox field or a date picker field. How do I go about using javascript to validate a date entered by a user? here's the rule:

    on August 1st of every year folks can enter a date between September - December of the current year only. After November 1st folks can enter a date between November - December of the current year or a date between February - December of the following year.

    I'm not sure if the date picker field is as flexible as the textbox field but I'm running into a wall in which to pull this little validation check off. Any help in the right direction would be helpful with a possible example.

    dates entered should be in format of mm/dd/yyyy

    oh if the date validates ok and is within range nothing should happen. if the date is out of range via month day or year it should pop up a box explaining the invalid date and reset the date field.

    TIA...

    Hello Grider,

    Having date ranges that are valid and invalid can be somewhat advanced.

    My recommended route would be to handle this:

    * JavaScript --> Client Side validation
    * SQL --> Server Side validation

    SQL will be the easiest route in my opinion. But if you're more comfortable with JavaScript you're more than welcome to perform this validation that way.

    If using JavaScript, I would recommend using the Client Side feature inside of your Date Picking Field.

    If using SQL, I would recommend using the SQL Validation inside of your Date Picking Field.

    Unfortunately we don't have examples that we can share when it comes to such a validation. This is quite specific to your requirements.

    If you need additional assistance with this inquiry, we can be of assistance via Premium Services:
    https://www.datasprings.com/support/premium-support/premium-support-options

    Configuring a validation like this may take 1-2 hours. So if you were to purchase the minimum of 3 hours, we should be able to knock this out within that time frame.

    Please let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks,

    Ryan

    So i've tried some javascript code that works in a simple html page but not in dynamic forms.

    all i'm trying to do is pull the month day and year into seperate variables, but it doesn't work nor do the get* functions appear to work under dynamic forms. Don't really understand why when they work perfectly fine in a simple html page...

    var udate = $(FirstName);
    alert(udate);
    alert(udate.getUTCMonth() + 1);
    var udatey = udate.getFullYear();
    var udatem = udate.getUTCMonth() + 1;
    var udated = udate.getUTCDate();
    alert(udatem);
    alert(udated);
    alert(udatey);

    Hello Grider,

    What value does $(FirstName) token have? The issue is more than likely coming from the $(FirstName) token. Since you're using JavaScript to build this validation, I would recommend usign Google Inspector or Firefox FireBug plugins for debugging your JavaScript.

    These tools will help you out greatly to see if there are any errors on the page caused by your JavaScript statements.

    There's quite a bit that I don't know at this moment:

    1.) Is there a question in your Dynamic Form with the Shortfield name of "FirstName"?
    2.) What is the expected value of $(FirstName)
    3.) Where is this code residing? Inside of a Client side event, Initial JavaScript, etc...
    4.) When this worked outside of Dynamic Forms, what did you assign to "udate"? What value?

    Hey Ryan I've actually solved my issue using this portion of javascript listed.

    I do have an additional question. I'm trying to apply javascript now to a Date field (textbox/calendar date picker) but I can't seem to pass the date value to javascript using the short name field like i can with a regular textbox field. Does the date picker field use some other field name to pass the value to javascript?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hello Mike,

    Great to hear that you implemented what you needed with JavaScript.

    I would work around using the Dynamic Form Date Field. Instead I would use a Textbox with a jQuery datepicker. This is very easy to implement and will allow you to use the Token in your JavaScript. You can learn more about this here:
    http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/

    If your textbox responsible for collecting date values shortfieldname is "Date", then you'll want to make sure that you have some value in the Client side event for this field(which I believe you do). Then you'll want to make the jQuery datepicker call under Module Configuration -> Advanced Coding Options -> Custom JavaScript file -> Initial JavaScript:

    jQuery($(Date_#FieldID)).datepicker();

    If this looks transparent to you, be sure to include am external/internal datepicker stylesheet on the page, this is the default that jQuery provides,you can personalize this as much as you'd like:

    http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/th...ery-ui.css


    The Date Picker w/ calendar is sort of advanced and doesn't render as one may expect when using the token. Altogether, I avoid this field type at all costs.


    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks,

    Ryan
