[DINESH CHINNAD1]

Hi,

I am new to Servicenow

var today=new Date(); //by using these gives output as UTC form date and time, so i am unable to macth this date with my input whatever i gave in the form

var a= now();

var b=nowDateTime();

var right_now=g_form_Date_Time;

and also i tried Glide System, Ajax and some other things . Glide System(gs) and Current does not supported by SANDBOX...

and tried few more things but i am not able to find???

My question is i want to accept the Date of Birth of a person with past and present date only (current date) it will not accept the future date.....

Can anyone Guide me....

Thanks in Advance...

I am using Client Script in rightnow i am using SANDBOX.

SANDBOX does not support Gilde Syatem and Current and Ajax and many things

Just now i had used this to get Current date... But the below code gives "Null" as output

var ajax = new GlideAjax('MyDateTimeAjax');

          ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','nowDateTime');

          ajax.getXMLWait();

          var time = ajax.getAnswer();

      alert("The time is "+time);

To help with the Ajax we'd have to see the script include code you are calling.

I was able to get it in demo007 using the method here: http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Set_Current_DateTime_In_Field

1. MAke sure your script include has client callable true.

2. add this code to script include function:

  var result = this.newItem("result");  

  result.setAttribute("date", gs.nowDateTime());

3. Client side, as you previously written:

          var ajax = new GlideAjax('MyDateTimeAjax');

          ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','nowDateTime');

          ajax.getXMLWait();

          ajax.getXml(ajaxResponse);

function ajaxResponse(serverResponse) {

      var result = serverResponse.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("result");

      var date_value = result[0].getAttribute("date");

  alert("The time is "+ date_value);

}

On change client script on a catalog item would look something like this if you had a 'date_of_brith' Date field on your form. You could also use a Ajax call to a script include to do the same thing.

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

   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

   return;

   }



   var birthDate = g_form.getValue('date_of_birth') + ' 23:59:59';

//if you use a date/time field then just remove the trailing   + ' 23:59:59'

   alert(birthDate);

   var bdMs = getDateFromFormat(birthDate, g_user_date_time_format);

   alert(bdMs);

   var todayMs = Date.now();

   alert(todayMs);

   if(bdMs > todayMs){

   alert('You must select a date in the past');

   }
