I have seen some posts on date validation within html page using javascript but I have not found one that I can use within maintain form. I was wondering if someone had a javascript that checks MDY date (event handler and javascript) is entered correctly within a maintain form
For example, The script will check that date like 20/05/25 is incorrect.


function OnDate_effect_Edit_Blur ( ) {
.......

}

There are validation js libraries that come with WebFOCUS.

For example ibiValidate.js.

You could also create your own. It would be simple.

Take the date, split it up into parts, assuming the delimiter is there, and is / or - or something else.

Test each part for correct ranges.

If you are able to use the ibiValidate script, it will add a calendat option, and it will validate for you.

I found these posts by doing an advanced search of techsupport.ibi.com for the text "date validation maintain"

These two links describe use of the Maintain validation library.

IBIValidation library
Validation library

There is also this post about an older technique.

I was able to use the ibivalidate.js along with MDYY . It seems that the script wants 4 digits year. thanks all!

Another solution is to use the calender object and not let the user enter the date in by hand. Currently you have to apply three JS files and a CSS file to your form to make the calendar object appear for date fields. In 7.7 we have added the option to the forms / fields property sheet so you can automatically turn the calendar on for all smart date formats, and turn it off for specific ones.
