I had to deal with this issue in my Task Mage app. When people enter
dates into the date column, or times into the time column, it has to be
a real date or real time, or else it will cause problems.
I addressed this in two ways. In the keydown handler I only allow
appropriate characters.
In the exitfield handler, the script tries to interpret what they wrote
and make it conform to the proper date or time format. If it does not
conform, the field is reverted to empty.
That sounds like a good approach, *except* (for someone as poor a typist
as me)
- I type 2005/0w/14 (i.e. mis-hit the 'w' below the '2' that I was
aiming for)
- hit return (or tab or ...)
- and because it's not a valid date, the whole lot goes and I need to
start typing from scratch ??
Some days, I'd never complete typing a date ! :-)
Hopefully, you allow some way to get back the invalid typing so I can
just edit that.
