Two Date Fields Test

Forms

Updated May 23, 2014

asked on May 18, 2014

Hi,

I've started using Forms and have dates that I need to test so that the to date is not less than the from date. Does anyone have a javascript that does this bit. I have very little exposure to javascript and would like to learn how I can test date fields.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Here's an unrelated code snippet that should get you in the right mode:

if (date1.getTime() > date2.getTime()) {
    alert("The first date is after the second date!");
}

The .getTime() method returns an integer that corresponds to how many milliseconds it's been since some date in the 70's I can't remember off hand.

however you may need to make sure that the date field is a date variable first. you might need to do a

var somedate1 = new Date(insert field.value here)

before the comparison to get it to work right.
