Use a regular expression:

if(textBox.value.search(/^\d{2}[-]\d{2}[-]\d{4}$/) !=3D -1){
	// The textBox's value is ok
}

Subject: [javascript_howto] Text box and date


I need to validate a text box in a form on the submit event.

It has to have the following format: "dd-mm-yyyy"

I know how to do this using ASP but I wanted to do it client-side...

Can anyone help me with a code example?

Thanks !
