need catalog variable date to validate it is in future

[karendk]

I've seen this in the community where this is working for others, but it's not working for me.   What do I have wrong?   I get no error message.   It's just ignored.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

if(newValue != '')
{
var reqDate = new Date(getDateFromFormat(newValue, g_user_date_format));
var today = new Date();

if(reqDate.getTime() <= today.getTime()) {

alert('Date must not be in the past.');
  g_form.setValue('sDate', '');
}
}
}

No Problem. You should be seeing the correct answer button near the response..You have to click on that.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Great

Please see my last comment to reset the variable. You need to change that line as well in your code.

Please mark the correct/helpful answers.

Thanks,

I don't think we need to use variables in client side to set the Value..All you need is the name of the variable.

Hi Pradeep,

hope you can help pls.

I have a date variable in a catalog item that i want to put a validation on.

Date type is "date"

So Basically, user selects date and calendar pops up, they select the date. if the date selected is less than 5 working days then i want an error or alert to pop up.

I have tried modifying the above script but it's not working.

Are you able to help pls?

Thanks in advance
