Don't you sometimes wish you could replace some of your users :->
But seriously, your question does not seem to be a JSF related question, if the user clicks a valid date you can not check (as far as I know) what he thought when he entered it. My workaround would be to switch the input to comboBox, then you don't need any validation. In order to solve your problem, present the month as names "Jan", "Feb" etc. while leaving the dates as numbers, that should do the trick. Good luck :-> ________________________________ From: Whitmire, Tracy Carroll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 2:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: inputCalendar validator Hi, I'm using t:inputCalendar and have a question I'm sure someone has already addressed. But a google search was futile. If a user decides to enter the input in manually .... What's the best way to validate this input? I have a user who loves to enter the date as MM/dd/YY ignoring the help text But the expected is MM/dd/yyyy So when he enters 12/01/06 .... It gets entered into the database as Dec, 01, 0006 Thanks for your help, tc
