mtfm -> RE: comparing two dates in javascript (9/19/2006 14:04:59)
|
OK, I finally got it figured out.
I used the URL to pass the variables to a 2nd page. Then on that second page I adapted the calculation part of the script from this page http://www.irt.org/articles/js216/index15.htm to get it to all work nicely. The first page validates the day entered is valid, the second displays the two dates entered (just as a confirmation to the user) and the difference between the two.
I didn't find any other such script out there-- either it calculated or it validated the date, but not both. But I did it and I am darned proud of myself, if I might toot my own horn. Not bad for someone with no javascript training! [:D] Hopefully someone else might find it useful!
full code-
page 1 (prettymuch taken whole from dynamicdrive.com, except added another form and made the submit button post to a new URL.
