Date greater than another validation

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 06.2006

I have a form with a date that is selected then they pick a date to repeat an action to. I need to make sure that the date they are repeating to is always greater than the frist date becuase I do not want to loop and repeat in the past ?

Here is what I tried but I get an alert on everything so I know it is wrong…

one_shiftdate is the repeat until date…and date is the start from date.

[code]

function TheFormCheck()
{
if (document.new_event.one_shiftdate.value != “”)
if (document.new_event.date.value > document.new_event.one_shiftdate.value)
{
alert(“The repeat date must be greater than the selected event date.”);

document.new_event.one_shiftdate.focus();

return false;
}

}

[/code]

Thanks for any help with this

@balloonbuffoonJan 06.2006 — What is the format that they are entering the dates in?

@balloonbuffoonJan 06.2006 — I've tested the following on FF and IE:
[CODE]function TheFormCheck() {
if (document.new_event.one_shiftdate.value != "") {
var date = document.new_event.date.value
var repeat = document.new_event.one_shiftdate.value
dates = new Array();
dates = date.split("-")
if (dates[1].length == 1) dates[1] = "0" + dates[1]
if (dates[2].length == 1) dates[2] = "0" + dates[2]
date = dates.join("")
repeats = new Array();
repeats = repeat.split("-");
if (repeats[1].length == 1) repeats[1] = "0" + repeats[1]
if (repeats[2].length == 1) repeats[2] = "0" + repeats[2]
repeat = repeats.join("")
if (date >= repeat) {
alert("The repeat date must be greater than the selected event date.");
document.new_event.one_shiftdate.select();
return false;
}
}
}
[/CODE]
You'll need to escape all the quotes again (if you did that for a reason in your code.) Month can either be in the format MM or M and days can be DD or D but year must always be YYYY (unless you'd like the option for them to input YY, in which case I can change the code.)
