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. : : Thanks : : ============================================ : Bryan F.
