Short date format to long date format

[Aasin]

Hello,

Currently I have a asp application that uses javascript to validate the current date. Part of the javascript allows the user to change the current date format which is mm/dd/yyyy to mm/dd/yy. Once the user tabs to the next field then the javascript changes the short date format of what the user entered back to the long date format.
Example: The field display's today's date 02/14/2008. Now the user needs to change the date to 02/11/08. The users are use to entering the short date format. The javascript then converts the short date format to long date. So now the field will display 02/11/2008.

The problem is that now since it has been the year 2008 the javascript changes the short date format of 02/11/08 to 02/11/2000. All the other previous years this javascript has worked but now since it is 2008 the javascript converts 08 to 2000.

Help please. It is really affecting the ability to generate correct analysis.

My crystal ball tells me your error is on line 23.


If I told you:

"I'm having a problem multiplying 2 numbers together. I keep getting 56. What am I doing wrong?"

Do you think you could give me the answer?


Perhaps it'd be helpful if you posted the function that's giving you problems.

Here is the function.

This is the part of the function that isn't working properly....

if(yyyy.length == 2){
yyyy = parseInt(yyyy);
if((yyyy >= 00) && (yyyy <= 50)){
yyyy = 2000 + yyyy;
//alert("value of yyyy = " + yyyy);
} else if((yyyy >= 90) && (yyyy <= 99)){
yyyy = 1900 + yyyy;
//alert("value of yyyy = " + yyyy);
} else {
alert("Year value is out of range.");
inTxt.value = "";
inTxt.focus();
return 1;
}
}
