Compare user date with system date

[Robert Scheer]

Hi.

My user types a date on a textbox using the DD/MM/YYYY format. I need
to verify that this date is not older than 2 months ago. Have seen
some functions to test dates but not with the above format.

Thanks,
Robert Scheer

Did you not find the newsgroup FAQ sufficiently helpful?

See below.



YYYY/MM/DD would be better; if you are sure that the form will be either
DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD, then the following will convert the former to
the latter if needed - I think :-

S = S.replace(/^(\d\d)\/(\d\d)\/(\d\d\d\d)$/, "$3/$2/$1")

You will need to think about "two months ago" for Aug 31 and for April
29; if you have authority, it would be easier to use 60 days.

Do not let the result be adversely affected by Summer Time.
