Need Javascript for mm/dd/yyyy format

[iHavAQuestion]

I need to dispaly 'mm/dd/yyyy' on a text box(aspx page) by default.
When the user enters the date(only numerics) in the text box it should take
the date in that order.
eg.. if the user enters 01012008 on that text box, it should display
01/01/2008, adding '/' by itself.
if the user enters 12312008 on that text box, it should display
12/31/2008, adding '/' by itself.
I am having tuff time,Can anyone, please provide the code for this solution.

There's nothing built in to JavaScript for this, so you'll need to roll your
own. There are hundreds of examples on the web - GIYF - e.g.

However, a *much* better solution is to provide a date picker so that you
never need to worry about users entering invalid dates - what does 03092008
mean to you...?

If you are doing AJAX, there is a masked edit control:
