formatting date

69
Hi guys,

I wanted to find out how i can do this.
I have a textbox on a form. I want the user to enter the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD.
when the user types 4 digits i want a dash('-') to be inserted and then the user will type the other 2 digits and another dash would be inserted and then the next 2 digits can be typed.
How do i insert the dash?

Please help

html/css cannot do this. Check on the javascript forum.

Keep checking the input on every key press.

Once the length is 4, add a dash: inputbox.value+="-".
