1st:
function onSubmit() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var getJoiningDate=g_form.getValue('u_joining_date'); //get the value of the Joining Date
var todayDate= new Date(); // Create a Date object for today's date
var getJoiningDateFormat=new Date(getJoiningDate); //Convert the Joining Date to Date obj
if(getJoiningDateFormat>todayDate)//Check if the Joining Date is greater than todays date
{
g_form.addErrorMessage('Joining date date cannot be in future');
g_form.clearValue('u_joining_date');
return false;
}
}
2nd :
function onSubmit() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var joiningdate = g_form.getValue('u_joining_date');
var todaydate = new Date();
var joindateformat = new Date(joiningdate);
if (joindateformat>todaydate)
{
g_form.showFieldMsg('u_joining_date','Joining date date cannot be in future','error');
g_form.clearValue('u_joining_date');
return false;
}
}
1st one is working fine but not second one why? especially this g_form.showFieldMsg('u_joining_date','Joining date date cannot be in future','error');

That's because the order of showFieldMsg and clearValue methods
first use
clearValue and then the showFieldMsg and check
g_form.clearValue('u_joining_date');
g_form.showFieldMsg('u_joining_date', 'Joining date date cannot be in future', 'error');
coming the date validation refer the already solved problems in case of yours is not working
Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.
