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,

I've copied and pasted Script Include and Client Script exactly As-Is, and still no message displays.

Interesting

Please try to debug the script by adding log or please check below conditions :

Getting new Date value ?

Does Script include have client callable checked ?

What result are you getting while using GlideAjax ?

Here is the error I see when debugging:

Changing the Client Script fixed the issue:

function startDateValidationResponse(response) {

var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
if(answer == "false") {
g_form.setValue('start_date','');
alert("You've entered a start date less than two weeks prior to the Start Date of the course. We cannot support all of the logistical requirements to ensure a successful delivery for this course.");
}
}

Glad to know that the issue is fixed
