I have 3 date and time fields (its date only).
But I want to limit the user not to be able to select future date.
I mean dates after today's couldn't be selected in the date picker.
How can I do it?
Crm datetime field doesn't support this type of functionality. You'll need to create your own html webresource and use a well-known library / control such as jquery datepicker.
Once you have the resource in place syncing the picker value with the hidden datetime value should be relatively easy using the form onload and onsave events.
You have to write a validator, either in plugin or JavaScript (or business rules), or perhaps both.
JS only works in the forms but has the possibility to give a prettier error message, with the business rules you can have a valitation which gives messages inline. If you only add data using the GUI, it might be enough to just use JS/business rules but if data can come any other way I would secure it with a plugin as well.
The validator is pretty simple, retrieve the field and compare it with a date object today. It could be a bit worse if there are a lot of timezones involved, we don't like timezones....

Is there a simple, established way to allow free-form date entry on a web page and parse the input text to get a Date value? We have a new requirement to go from using a date picker to allowing free-form date entry. So the user could theoretically enter any of the following:
12/7/41
12-7-1941
Dec 7, 1941
And we would have to attempt to parse it and make a date out of it.
I have attempted to find something online but the closest is this JQuery widget which doesn't do the free-form thing. There's also DateJS but it looks unfinished and development stopped in 2008. I'm just wondering if there's anything else out there.
MomentJS has what you are looking for. It's a robust library with almost all your time and/or date needs handled.

I should preface this post by saying that I am a very elementary developer with a generic IS degree. Without going into too much detail, I was given a moderately large web application from an interning software engineer to support an enhance if need be. It was written primarily in Python, JavaScript and HTML5 and utilizes a Google Map API to visually represent the location and uses of given inputs. This leads me to my question.
There is a date picker modal that the application/user utilizes. They pick a START and END date, in the default format YYYY-MM-DD (if the user does not use that exact format (i.e. 2015-09-29) the date picker will not work), and the application then goes to the DB and picks the given inputs between those dates and represents them on the map. I have been told that, for usability, I have to make the program accept multiple date formats (i.e. September 29 2015, 09-29-2015, 9-29-2015, 9/29/2015). How would I go about doing this?
You can use Javascript to give the user the feedback that the correct format(s) is being used. But if you are taking any data to your server be sure verify the data on the server.
To verify the correct dataformat you can use Regular expressions and check if any format is correct. You should iterate through all allowed possibilities until one is found correct.
Your best bet from the user-experience standpoint is not to try and parse multiple formats but to normalize the input being accepted.
For dates, wouldn't you rather use a calendar picker instead of manually typing in the dates?
Have a look at this jQuery solution, or you can Google, there are plenty that don't use jQuery, and you can usuaslly specify the outupt format so you get the format you require.
Here's an example doing what you want: http://jsfiddle.net/ezygkgxt/
HTML
<label>Date: <input name='date' /></label>
<input type='hidden' id='actualDate' />
JS
$("input[name='date']").datepicker({
altFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
altField: "#actualDate"
});
$("input[name='date']").change(function(){
window.alert("The current chosen date is: "+$("#actualDate").val());
});
Is it possible to temporarily change the system date in NetSuite for purposes of testing date triggered scripts? If not is there a way to overload all NetSuite date functions so that a future or past date could be simulated for a given user in the sandbox?
We have email notifications that are sent based on the number of days before a certain NetSuite record expires. Rather than make the users wait for several days to go by to test this feature or change expiration date of records I want to provide a UI to allow the NetSuite system date to be changed.
I'd prefer the date override to be specific to the user and not for the entire sandbox instance so more than one user can simulate future/past dates. The date override would need to work in both client and server SuiteScript code as well as scheduled scripts.
A possible workaround is create two script parameters. A checkbox to indicate the script is in debug mode and a debug date where you can specify any date you want.
Then on your script, check if the checkbox is checked. If it is checked use the value in the date parameter for the comparison instead of the system date.
You can create a deployment parameter field {testDays}.
In production make it zero. In Test environment give it some negative numbers.
create something like the following
newTempDate = nlapiAddDays({expirydate}, {testDays})
and use the newTempDate for your criteria everywhere.
I'm not sure of the availability of such a functionality in Netsuite that allows you to customize the System Date. As far as I'm concerned, your schedule scripts will always pick timestamp of the server instance. No matter if you change your date / timezone, all your transactions, records, scripts & login times will display Pacific time, where the server computer is located.One solution could be defining your own Date in your script instead changing the server date (In case you don't want to change the date in your record) and validate your records against it.
It sounds like this question has been asked a few times before, but I am not seeing a solution. So here goes the question!
I am using the date filter in an HTML page of an AngularJS application to display dates in a page as follows:
{{item.dateCreated | date:'mediumDate'}}
I have a menu item on my page that allows the user to select the language to be used to display the page. I am using the excellent ngTranslate module to perform the translation of the strings on the page, but it does not handle the date display above.
The AngularJS docs indicate that there is a $locale service with one member called id - not sure if this is a property to view the locale or a method to set it. The docs also say that I need to include the i18n script file appropriate for the locale in the page after the angularjs library has been included, but of course I don't know the locale until runtime when the user selects it.
So the question is, how can I support multiple locales in an angularjs application such that filters such as date translate and format dates for the locale, and how do I tell angularjs what locale to use if the user changes it at runtime? I suppose I could build a set of format strings by hand and apply them to the date filter as the user selects a language, but that might get difficult as we decide to support more and more languages??
I would really appreciate any expert suggestions!
To change the locale dynamically you could test the package Angular Dynamic Locale.
I'm looking for a way to have a textbox that allows users to type in a date in any format and turns around and formats that date in a 'mm/dd/yyyy' format. So the user could type in "Today" and it would turn the date as 02/24/2009 or they could type in Wednesday Feb 24 and formatting would automatically pick up. Remember the Milk does this (but I believe server side). This is asp.net so I could do via ajax web service call but I would prefer to do this via Javascript. I'm looking for a general technique or existing library to help with this.
