I have a date form field which I have attempted to validate using CF's validate="date"
Which should allow mm/dd/yyyy but it also allows mm/dd/yyy I tried to work around this by setting my validate to regular_expression with a pattern of ^\d\d\/\d\d\/\d\d\d\d$ which works perfect except for the fact that I also want this to allow nulls. Does anyone have a regular expression that will check for mm/dd/yyyy and allow nulls? Maybe someone could explain why the validate="date" allows mm/dd/yyy I don't think that is a valid date, am I wrong? It's funny the docs state that the validate="date" only accepts mm/dd/yyyy but the example on the docs validates against mm/dd/yy I know this is a valid date. Just pointing this out because the docs are wrong, and I did not want to see RTFM in any replies I may get. Also this has to be done on the client side. I'm using CF5 for this. Docs came from DMX.
