need catalog variable date to validate it is in future

karendk · ‎07-25-2015

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', '');
}
}
}

Hi Karen,

You are just comparing the time. You should first compare date and then time. Or both at the same time.

Try with the below shown code-

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

return;

}

// if(newValue != '') don't need this as you already have checked above

// {

var reqDate = new Date(newValue);

var today = new Date();

if(reqDate <= today){

alert('Date must not be in the past.');

g_form.setValue('closed_at', '');

}

// }

}

Thanks,

Tanaji

Hi Tanaji,

How do you set the default for a couple minutes past when the form loads? Can we do that within the same script?

Thanks,

Mike

var reqDate = new Date(getDateFromFormat(newValue, g_user_date_time_format));
