Can we require a DOB date field to be at least 14 years old?
If you need to compare the entered date with today's date, you're correct that the date range option will not help. We'll look in to improving date fields and offering more options like this in the future; for now, you can use some straightforward JavaScript to accomplish what you're looking for.
To use the following code, add the ageLimit class to your date field. See the Adding classes to fields section of this page for more details.
$(document).ready(function () {
var d = new Date();
$('.ageLimit input').change(function () {
if (d.getFullYear() - ($('.ageLimit input').val().slice(-4)) <= 14) {
if ($('.ageWarning').length == 0) {
$('<p class="ageWarning">You must be at least 14 years old to apply.</p>').insertAfter('.ageLimit');
$('.Submit').attr('disabled', true);
}
}
else {
$('p.ageWarning').remove();
$('.Submit').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
});
This code displays a warning and disables the submit button if the entered date is within 14 years of the current year.
Sure, add the CSS class I mentioned earlier to the birthday field, then use the following code:
$(document).ready(function () {
var d = new Date();
$('.ageLimit input').change(function () {
if (d.getFullYear() - ($('.ageLimit input').val().slice(-4)) <= 17) {
if ($('.ageWarning').length == 0) {
$('<p class="ageWarning">You must be at least 18 years old to apply.</p>').insertAfter('.ageLimit');
$('.Submit').attr('disabled', true);
}
}
else {
$('p.ageWarning').remove();
$('.Submit').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
});
Feel free to edit the part that says "You must be at least 18 years old to apply." to any warning message you like.
I have the same issue. The date range only allows you to state it cannot be in the future. Is there a way around this? We have several new hires sting they were born this year and we have to go and correct the PDF and resubmit the form.
Can you assist with the script for the attached screen shot. i am looking for applicants to be 18 years old. the date we would use for that is Birthdate.
I assume that this question is related to Laserfiche Forms. If that's incorrect, feel free to clarify below.
In Laserfiche Forms, you can configure a date field to only allow a certain range of years. Within the options of the date field, you'll see "Year range" where you can set the values. Keep in mind this doesn't read the current date and require a certain age, but you can of course set the range to prevent anyone born after a certain year from submitting the form.
