Date Validation

[rr236]

Does anybody know how to get javascript to validate a date entry. eg. that 31 February 2001 is invalid.

function checkDate(date)
{
var d = new Date(date);
var mm = d.getMonth()+1;
var dd = d.getDate();
var yy = d.getYear();
mm = (mm<10)?&quot;0&quot;+mm:mm;
dd = (dd<10)?&quot;0&quot;+dd:dd;
var va = mm+&quot;/&quot;+dd+&quot;/&quot;+yy;
if(date == va)
{
alert(&quot;good date&quot;
return true;
}
alert(&quot;invalid date&quot;
return false;
}

checkDate(&quot;02/01/2000&quot; adam@aauser.com

Try this ...

if (year2Check % 4 == 0 &amp;&amp; (year2Check % 100 != 0 || year2Check % 400 == 0)) {
month[2] = &quot;29&quot; }
else {
month[2] = &quot;28&quot; }

that won't tell you that, for example 01/45/2000, isn't valid, but, my example will. adam@aauser.com

I've finished testing lucid's code, and can confirm it works like a dream.

thanks
