I've found that one of the easiest methods is to have 3 small text boxes,
that auto-tab (via javascript) after two characters. When submitted, I
concat them into a date string, then run through data validation.
If IsDate(dateStr) = FALSE Then
response.write "Invalid date entered"
strError = "TRUE"
End If
Later, if strError = "TRUE" Then I pop the form back up with the form fields
filled out with what they had entered.
I also like to use some javascript date pickers that are pretty good. The
user clicks a calendar icon and a calendar pops up. When they click the
date, it's inserted into the form in the correct format.
Try a search for date pickers and see what you can find if you'd prefer
that.
