Right Will.. I do that too sometimes. I got in kinda late on this one, but
couldn't you just use isDate() on the server side backend and javascript to
validate the front end?
JavaScript would be a regex which would be something like this.
<script>
function checkform() {
if(!document.forms[0].elements[0].value.length){
alert("Please fill in the date!");
document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
return false;
}
var regex = /^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/;
if(!regex.test(document.forms[0].elements[0].value)) {
alert(document.forms[0].elements[0].value +
" is NOT a valid date:" + " " + "THIS FORMAT PLEASE XX/XX/XXXX");
document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
return false;
}
}
</script>
