Thanks, Robert.

I have a form with n text boxes, each one having its own submit button.

Can you teach me how to put this in a function and use it on the on exit
event of the text box? If date format is correct, the corresponding
submit button would be enabled.

The thing is that I can do this in ASP, but I wanted to avoid another
roundtrip to the server just to validate a date !!!!

Thanks in advance!

Use a regular expression:

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

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 !
