jelly error

[chercm]

hi i kept getting this error :The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup. around these code : 

if (form_warranty_end_date.value === '') {

alert('Warranty end date is required');

return false;

}

var warrantyDate = new Date(form_warranty_end_date.value);

var currentDate = new Date();

if (warrantyDate < currentDate) {

alert('The warranty has expired.');

return false;

}

The error is because of the less than sign "<". Jelly is XML and the less than chevron is a reserved character.

If you're in a UI page you should be able to do the code in the client script portion instead in the XML.

If you're in a UI Macro then you'll need to use something like ${LT} or ${AMP}lt;

ie

...
if(warrantyDate ${LT} currentDate) {
...

//or

...
if(warrantyDate ${AMP}lt; currentDate) {
...
