Date formats always seemed finicky to me, I usually have to test several versions before I get one to work. The first thing I would suggest is figuring out what formats your system recognizes as a valid date. Everything that comes through a form is passed to the script as a string, so if it isn't immediately recognizable it will likely fail. So to test, try a series of dates as strings in different formats, and try to get the script to convert to other date formats or use them in date calculations (such as dateDiff() ).

It has appeared that ancient sources give a method for Numeric Date Validation that involves numerous tests to determine month length; versions are often posted by incomers here. That sort of code seems unnecessarily long. For some while, the following approach has been given here :- function ValidDate(y, m, d) { // m = 0..11 ; y m d...

I have VS 2005 (C#) There is a control numericUpDown so you can spin numeric values. What I need to do is to spin date (+- one day). How to do that? Moreover, I want a user to type the date as well. So the control should validate the typed values on the fly. Is it possible?

I have found code that will do exactly what i need it to do, but i am not sure how to call it. It was suggested to be to have it run through an if statement and if the user enters an invalid date it will kick them to an error page. ...
