can someone urgently show me a regular expression to validate the format dd/mmm/yyyy?
thanks
 
u r using one textfield to capture the data?
try this:
if((!window.document.form1.sjoin.value.match(/^[\d]{1,2}[\/|.][\d]{2}[\/|.][\d]{2,4}$/)) || (window.document.form1.sjoin.value.match(/[\/.][\d]{3}$/)))


note form1 is form name and sjoin is the field name. it will allow u to enter date of type:
dd/mm/yy
or
dd/mm/yyyy



Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
 
thanks..
but what i want to match is dd/mmm/yyyy

not dd/mm/yy
 
Code:
/^\d{2}\/(Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)\/[\d]{4}$/
maybe? It won't really validate it though, just check the format. Big difference.

Aynways, HTH.

(Do you maybe want spaces rather than slashes in there?)
