> Just force them to enter a date correctly.

I wanted to go with three dropdown boxes for month/day/year, but was 
told "nope, just one text input".

So, next to the text input in bold red letters, it says:
(format date as mm/dd/yyyy)

In previewing the thing to the client, they started filling out the form 
and immediately entered "July 26, 2005" and ignored the format alert.

It's often amazing to me the weird "stupid user tricks" that you have to 
compensate for - and if you haven't thought of it yet, the user 
certainly will within 24 hours of getting a finished product!
