You could use JS to automatically format the date or to wipe out what they entered if it does match the correct values - they will soon learn.

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! -- ----------- Les Mizzell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
