hi,

im currently developing web pages on my laptop under windows nt.  im trying 

to validate the date entered.  if anyone knows any javascript or anything 

that could help me validate a date that is entered by the user that would be 

greatly appreciated.

If u need further explanation to help u better understand just state that 

fact.

Although not very sophisticated, you could try the following script:

(This script assumes you have 2 pages, one for the form and one for the

processing of the form data which is called in the form action tag)



<%

Dim CheckCount, varCheck

varCheck = request.form("varDate") 'Enter your form Date field here

CheckCount = 0

    If varCheck="" Then

		Response.Write "<h4>Please make sure the Date field is

completed."

				CheckCount = 1

    End If





if CheckCount = 0 then

%>



<html>

<head>

	<title>Untitled</title>

</head>



<body>



HTML CONTENT GOES HERE



</body>

</html>



<%End if%>

hi



what do you mean by validating the date? make sure that nobody enters a

date like 13-32-2000.5 ?
