Adding days to date field in client script

[Rudi2]

Hi Guys

I have the following Client script, but I want to add 2 days to the one variable called 'today'. Any ideas?

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
       if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
               return;
       }
       var reqDate = new Date(newValue);
       var today = new Date(); //add 2 days to this var     
       if(reqDate <= today){
               alert('Date must not be in the past and at least 2 days from now');           
               g_form.setValue('u_excepted', '');
       }
}

Thanks

Hi Rudi,

Doing this on the client side is somewhat unreliable. Here's a collection of useful time/date scripts that can help (one of which is to add date/time.)

Client Script Date/Time Functions

Hi ctomasi

Okay, im getting this to work. The only thing I need from this is to get the value from today's date and not the selected date like in this line:

var cdt = g_form.getValue('some_date'); //Choose the field to add time from

Then I need to compare it and get a result.

The end result will be not to be able to select a date in the past up until 2 days from now. I hope it makes sense..   Am I missing something?

Hi Rudi,

The other functions in that linked script should do the trick for you. Let the user pick a date, then use an onChange client script to call the appropriate date comparison function.
