Date input text box validation

[hexchad]

Hi guys,

Pls help. i need to validate my input text box that the user should type the correct format of the date in the input textfield box to "mm-dd-yyyy". onkeychange, if ever a wrong format is entered then it will prompt an "invalid date format" error message.

Thanks in advance,

Chad

Google search with "javascript date validation" gives you many results (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&hs=eDj&q=javascript+date+validation) to do what you want(specially the first one). Althought I wouldnt use onkeychange, onsubmit should be enough.

Perhaps 'onblur' would be more suitable?
