Date format replace

[apex82]

Hi,

I would like to format a date in a form field so when a user adds

01012001

This would be returned as

01/01/2001

I’ve searched Google for an example but can’t find anything.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Assuming the date entered will ALWAYS be 8 digits, you can use:

var dateStr = '01042009';
var dd = dateStr.substr(0, 2); // 01
var mm = dateStr.substr(2, 2); // 04
var yyyy = dateStr.substr(4);  // 2009

I'd recommend using 'onblur' on the input to run its value through that code.

Hope this helps,
Dan
