In other words this doesn't work (making it onclick--but it must be because ColdFusion is already using onsubmit):
<script>
function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f <= n)
{
return true
}
else
{
alert("Please enter an assigned date that is before the due date."
;
return false;
}
}
</script>
<form name="formname">
<input name="AssignedDate">
<input name="DueDate">
<input type="submit" onclick="return todayDate(document.formname.AssignedDate.value,document.formname.DueDate.value)">
But this does:
<script>
function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f <= n)
{
return true
}
else
{
alert("Please enter an assigned date that is before the due date."
return false;
}
}
</script>
<form name="formname" onsubmit="return todayDate(document.formname.AssignedDate.value,document.formname.DueDate.value)">
<input name="AssignedDate">
<input name="DueDate">
<input type="submit">

why are you using an onclick? use an onsubmit in the form tag adam@aauser.com

That doesn't work for me in IE 5.5 (it just submits the form with no alert). This is the exact HTML from the page:

I'm using CFFORM, which uses OnSubmit. When I try to define an OnSubmit value in the CFFORM tag, I get a CF error. Anyway, I figured out that the code does indeed work for MM/DD/YYYY formatted dates, but I was entering MM/DD/YY dates. Is there anyway to make this function work with MM/DD/YY date formatting?

function fixForRyan(str)
{
if(str.length<10)
{
return str.substring(0,6)+"20"+str.substring(6,str.length)
}
else{return str}
}
add this function somewhere, then change the old function to have:
var f = new Date(fixForRyan(date));
var n = new Date(fixForRyan(old));
i think this should work ( I hope!

i find weird the way you do that ! it's not very logical !
either you use cfform, and then you should use coldfusion date validation/date comparaison functions, they are designed for that !!!
or you want to use javascript validation/comparaison functions, and then a simple <form> is better than a <cfform>

I won't use CF date comparison because I want it client side. I am already using CFFORM to ensure that the date is properly formatted. Prior to the date comparison my JavaScript knowledge didn't have to be that great--and that is why I chose CFFORM--considering that all I needed was one date comparison function. I didn't realize that problems that would arise--anyway, onClick should function just the same as onSubmit.
