Need help with Date Validation script

nicolemccray · ‎05-05-2017

I need an 'OnChange' script that will check to see whether the entered 'start_date' that is less than 2 weeks from today (or whatever day they are filling out the form). If they enter a date less than 2 weeks away, I want to display a pop up message and prevent them from submitting the form.

Hi Nicole,

If you don't want to do ajax calls each time, you can use JavaScript validation in onChange client script and onSubmit script :

var date1 = new Date(g_form.getValue('start_date');

var date2 = new Date();

var timeDiff = Math.abs(date2.getTime() - date1.getTime());

var diffDays = Math.ceil(timeDiff / (1000 * 3600 * 24)); 

if(diffDays >= 14) {

       alert("Error Message");

       return false;

}

else

         return true;

Regards,

try this one,

testing: function(){

var abc = new GlideDateTime();

abc.setValue(startDT);

abc.daysAgo(-14);

if (startDT>abc){

return false;

else{

return true;

}

},

gsetNowDateTime: function(){

return gs.nowDatetime();

},

Still showing errors:

Was able to get rid of most errors:

var AbstractAjaxProcessorDate = Class.create();
AbstractAjaxProcessorDate.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

type: 'AbstractAjaxProcessorDate'
}

testing: function(){
var abc = new GlideDateTime();
abc.setValue(startDT);
abc.daysAgo(-14);
if (startDT>abc){
return false;
else{
return true;
}
},
gsetNowDateTime: function(){
return gs.nowDatetime();

},

Except for this:

you need to remove line4 and as well as return in else causing the errors.

Try this one,

var AbstractAjaxProcessorDate = Class.create();

AbstractAjaxProcessorDate.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

testing: function(){

var ans = true;

var abc = new GlideDateTime();

abc.setValue(startDT);

abc.daysAgo(-14);

if (startDT>abc){

ans =false;

}

return ans;

},

gsetNowDateTime: function(){

return gs.nowDatetime();

},

type: 'AbstractAjaxProcessorDate'

});
