I've started to work on Javascript recently. What I am testing is checking the DoB in valid format. Next step will be checking the age.
What my HTML code includes is below
<form name="ProcessInfo" action="#" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="_self" onsubmit="return checkForm();">
.
.
.
.
<br>
<label for="txtDOB">Date of Birth:* </label>
<input id="txtDOB" type="text" name="txtDOB" size="12">
format: ##/##/####
<br>
.
.
.
</form>
.
.
and I did the following in my .js file
var errMessage = "";
function checkForm() {
validateName();
validateSurname();
carSelect();
validateDOB();
if (errMessage == "") {
} else {
alert(errMessage);
}
}
...
function validateDOB()
{
var dob = document.forms["ProcessInfo"]["txtDOB"].value;
var pattern = /^([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{4})$/;
if (dob == null || dob == "" || !pattern.test(dob)) {
errMessage += "Invalid date of birth\n";
return false;
}
else {
return true
}
}
I tried to check if its valid with regular expression but I always get an alert even if I type the date correctly. And how can I seperate the DD / MM / YYYY to calculate the age?
If you want to use forward slashes in the format, the you need to escape with back slashes in the regex:
var pattern =/^([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{4})$/;

I suggest using moment.js which provides an easy to use method for doing this.
interactive demo
function validate(date){
var eighteenYearsAgo = moment().subtract(18, "years");
var birthday = moment(date);
if (!birthday.isValid()) {
return "invalid date";
}
else if (eighteenYearsAgo.isAfter(birthday)) {
return "okay, you're good";
}
else {
return "sorry, no";
}
}
To include moment in your page, you can use CDNJS:
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.4.0/moment.min.js"></script>
I'd utilize the built in Date object to do the validation for me. Even after you switch from - to / you still need to check whether the month is between 0 and 12, the date is between 0 and 31 and the year between 1900 and 2013 for example.
function validateDOB(){
var dob = document.forms["ProcessInfo"]["txtDOB"].value;
var data = dob.split("/");
// using ISO 8601 Date String
if (isNaN(Date.parse(data[2] + "-" + data[1] + "-" + data[0]))) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse#Example:_Using_parse for more information.
If you want to use forward slashes in the format, the you need to escape with back slashes in the regex:
var dateformat = /^(0?[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-]\d{4}$/;

Using pattern and check validate:
var input = '33/15/2000';
var pattern = /^((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])(\/)(0[13578]|1[02]))|((0[1-9]|[12][0-9])(\/)(02))|((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[0])(\/)(0[469]|11))(\/)\d{4}$/;
alert(pattern.test(input));
You have used regular expression for this format :
DD - MM- YYYY
If you need this format DD/MM/YYYY use
var pattern =/^([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{4})$/;
It is two problems - is the slashes the right places and is it a valid date.
I would suggest you catch input changes and put the slashes in yourself. (annoying for the user)
The interesting problem is whether they put in a valid date and I would suggest exploiting how flexible js is:
function isValidDate(str) {
var newdate = new Date();
var yyyy = 2000 + Number(str.substr(4, 2));
var mm = Number(str.substr(2, 2)) - 1;
var dd = Number(str.substr(0, 2));
newdate.setFullYear(yyyy);
newdate.setMonth(mm);
newdate.setDate(dd);
return dd == newdate.getDate() && mm == newdate.getMonth() && yyyy == newdate.getFullYear();
}
console.log(isValidDate('jk'));//false
console.log(isValidDate('290215'));//false
console.log(isValidDate('290216'));//true
console.log(isValidDate('292216'));//false
To get the values use pattern.exec() instead of pattern.test() (the .test() returns a boolean value).
if(!/^(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-]\d{2}$/.test($(this).val())){
alert('Date format incorrect (DD/MM/YY)');
$(this).datepicker('setDate', "");
return false;
}
This code will validate date format DD/MM/YY
with leading zero for day and month
var pattern =/^(0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-1])\/(0[1-9]|1[0-2])\/([0-9]{4})$/;
and with both leading zero/without leading zero for day and month
var pattern =/^(0?[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-1])\/(0?[1-9]|1[0-2])\/([0-9]{4})$/;
I use the code I found #.w3resources
The code takes care of
month being less than 12,
days being less than 32
even works with leap years.
While Using in my project for leap year I modify the code like
if ((lyear==false) && (dd>=29))
{
alert('Invalid date format!');
return false;
}
if ((lyear==false) && (dd>=29))
{
alert('not a Leap year February cannot have more than 28days');
return false;
}
Rather than throwing the generic "Invalid date format" error which does not make much sense to the user.
I modify the rest of the code to provide valid error message like month cannot be more than 12, days cannot be more than 31 etc.,
The problem with using Regular expression is it is difficult to identify exactly what went wrong. It either gives a True or a false-Without any reason why it failed. We have to write multiple regular expressions to sort this problem.
var date=/^[0-9]{1,2}\-[0-9]{1,2}\-[0-9]{1,4}$/;
if(!date.test(form.date.value))
alert("Enter correct date");
else
alert(" working");
You can use attributes of html tag instead of validation from html input type ="date" can be used instead of validating it. That's the benifits html 5 gives you
If you're using moment then that's the single line code:
moment(date).format("DD/MM/YYYY").isValid()
When we put only pattern it's not simple to check every possible date combination. Users can enter valid numbers like 99/99/9999 but it's not a valid date. Even If we limit days and months to a more restrictive value (30/31 days and 0-12 months) we still may get a case where we have leap year, febraury etc. and we cannot properly validate them using regex. So the better approach is to use a date object itself.
let InputDate = "99/99/9999"
let pattern =/^([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{4})$/;
let editDate = InputDate.replace("\/","-")
let dateValidation = function validation(){
if(pattern.test(InputDate) && new Date(editDate) == 'Invalid Date'){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
console.log(dateValidation()) //Return false

I'm trying to make an alert to user when choose a date. For example, when user choose 2018-09-13, then the alert will show message "7 days later will be 2018-09-20". But instead, the alert message shows 2018-09-137.
<input type="date" name = "date" id = "date" onchange="javascript:var chooseDate=(this.value)+7; alert('7 days later will be '+chooseDate);" >
How should I add days into the date ?? please help, thank you.
this.value will return the date as string using the format YYYY-MM-DD, so if you "add" 7, it will be YYYY-MM-DD7. What you could do is create a new Date object, and then add the days you want, like this:
var chooseDate=new Date(this.value);
chooseDate.setDate(chooseDate.getDate()+7);
alert('7 days later will be '+chooseDate);
This will give you the complete date, though, which is something you probably don't want, so you would have to get the values you actually need, like this:
var chooseDate=new Date(this.value);
chooseDate.setDate(chooseDate.getUTCDate()+7);
var futureDate = chooseDate.getFullYear()+'-'+('0'+(chooseDate.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)+'-'+('0'+(chooseDate.getDate())).slice(-2);
alert('7 days later will be '+chooseDate);
Here you have a working example:
<input type="date" name = "date" id = "date" onchange="var chooseDate=new Date(this.value);chooseDate.setDate(chooseDate.getUTCDate()+7);var futureDate=chooseDate.getFullYear()+'-'+('0'+(chooseDate.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)+'-'+('0'+(chooseDate.getDate())).slice(-2);alert('7 days later will be '+futureDate);" >
How about this in :
addDays = function(input_date, days) {
var date = new Date(input_date);
date.setDate(date.getDate() + days);
return date;
}
You then call do addDays(this.value, 7) in onchange().
And, please reference on getDate() and setDate().
You are working with string instead of a date object:
function lPad(val) {
return ((10 > val ? '0' : '') + val);
}
function add(input, unit, value) {
var cur = input.value;
var byValue = Number(value);
if (!/^\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}$/.test(cur) || !/day|month|year/.test(unit) || isNaN(byValue)) {
console.warn('invalid parameters!');
return false;
}
var dt = new Date(cur.replace(/\-/g, '/'));
if (!dt || isNaN(dt)) {
console.warn('invalid date!');
return false;
}
if ('day' === unit) {
dt.setDate(dt.getDate() + byValue);
} else if ('month' === unit) {
dt.setMonth(dt.getMonth() + byValue);
} else {
dt.setFullYear(dt.getFullYear() + byValue);
}
input.value = [dt.getFullYear(), lPad(1 + dt.getMonth()), lPad(dt.getDate())].join('-');
console.log(cur, value, unit, '=', input.value);
return true;
}
<input type="date" onchange="add(this,'day','+7');" title="+7 days" />
<input type="date" onchange="add(this,'month','-1');" title="-1 month" />
<input type="date" onchange="add(this,'year','+2');" title="+2 year" />
try this one ...
<input type="date" name = "date" id = "date" onchange="ggrr(this)" >
<script>
function ggrr(input){
var dateString = input.value;
var myDate = new Date(dateString);
var d = new Date(Date.parse(myDate));
var y = d.getFullYear();
var da = d.getDate() + 7;
var m = d.getMonth();
console.log(y+':'+m+':'+da);

I'm trying to change the color of the input text whenever the$visa_expired is the same date as today. But right now, I get an error saying Invalid Date
Here is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkFilled() {
var today = new Date();
var expired = new Date("<?php echo $visa_expiry; ?> ");
var inputVal = document.getElementById("expiry");
if (inputVal.value == "") {
inputVal.style.backgroundColor = "red";
window.alert(today);
}
else{
inputVal.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
}
}
checkFilled();
</script>
Here is my HTML:
<input type="text" class="form-control" size="5" value="$visa_expiry" id="expiry">
This is similar to what I have done in the past
var inputElement = document.getElementById("expiry");
var inputDate = inputElement.value;
var expired = new Date();
var today = new Date();
expired.setUTCFullYear(inputDate.split("/")[2], inputDate.split("/")[0] - 1, inputDate.split("/")[1]);
if(today === expired) {
inputElement.style.backgroundColor = "red";
window.alert(today);
} else {
inputElement.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
}
Also it looks like you need to change
<input type="text" class="form-control" size="5" value="$visa_expiry" id="expiry">
To
<input type="text" class="form-control" size="5" value="<?php echo $visa_expiry; ?>" id="expiry">
Just note that since you are using a input form box, its always possible that someone would enter something like 10-12-2016 instead of the 10/12/2016 format you may be expecting. Which would cause the above code to fail. You might want to consider finding a datepicker, or at the least change the
<input type="text">
to
<input type="date">
Then create some code to format the date to what you want.

One solution would be to add an "oninput" event to the myDate input element that executes the myAgeValidation function each time the input element's value is changed.
<input type="text" name="myDate" size=10 maxlength=10 oninput="myAgeValidation()">(in MM/DD/YYYY format)
If the element's value it is a valid date, the next step is to check the age range. If the value is within the 20 - 25 range, you can enable the checkbox. Just make sure you set your checkbox back to disabled in case someone enters an acceptable 20-25 age, and then changes it back to something else.
See example solution here:
https://jsfiddle.net/z6hnu7qn/
Optional: I added green, pink, and red css borders to the input field depending on the dates acceptability.
I would also recommend looking at other ways to validate your date string. Just returning an empty string if it's valid and checking if datemsg is an empty string to proceed could lead to problems down the line.
Here is a question addressing date validation in javascript:
How to validate date with format "mm/dd/yyyy" in JavaScript?
There are also a number of popular libraries, like angularjs, that do date validation.
I have function that loops every 500ms, and collects date information:
var mlptoday = {};
var timer = setTimeout(today,500);
function today(){
var d = new Date()
mlptoday.date = checkTime(d.getDate()); //output: "27"
mlptoday.year = d.getFullYear(); //output: "2013"
mlptoday.month = checkTime(d.getMonth()+1); //output: "01"
}
function checkTime(i) { if (i<10){i="0" + i} return i }
In a different function, I would like to check if the date the user gives as input is either the same day, or after the given day.
An example input may be: 2013.01.27.
I use this snippet of code to achieve what I want:
var remTime = "2013.01.27"; //user input
var remTimeArray = remTime.split('.') //output: ["2013","01","27"]
if (
!(remTimeArray[0] >= parent.mlptoday.year &&
remTimeArray[1] >= parent.mlptoday.month) ||
!((remTimeArray[1] == parent.mlptoday.month) ? Boolean(remTimeArray[2]*1 >= parent.mlptoday.date) : true)
){
//the input date is in the past
}
As you could probably guess, this does not work. The conditional statement seems to fail me, because if I invert Boolean(...) with an !(...), it will never fire the error, otherwise it always will.
Here's a snippet, where it works at it should:
var mlptoday = {};
var timer = setTimeout(today,500);
function today(){
var d = new Date();
mlptoday.year = d.getFullYear(); //output: "2013"
mlptoday.month = checkTime(d.getMonth()+1); //output: "01"
mlptoday.date = checkTime(d.getDate()); //output: "27"
$('#values').html(JSON.stringify(mlptoday));
}
function checkTime(i) { if (i<10){i="0" + i} return i }
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var remTime = $('input').val(); //user input
var remTimeArray = remTime.split('.') //output: ["2013","01","27"]
if (
!(remTimeArray[0] >= mlptoday.year &&
remTimeArray[1] >= mlptoday.month) ||
!((remTimeArray[1] == mlptoday.month) ? Boolean(remTimeArray[2]*1 >= mlptoday.date) : true)
){
$('#past').fadeIn('fast').delay(500).fadeOut('fast');
}
})
})
#past { display:none; }
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<input type="text" id="input" required autocomplete="off" placeholder="yyyy.mm.dd" pattern="^(19|20)\d\d[.](0[1-9]|1[012])[.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])$" required="" />
<button>Check</button>
</form>
<pre id="values"></pre>
<span id="past">the input date is in the past</span>
I need a better way to do this, and I don't want to use any date picker plugins.
I would compare the dates as integers to avoid complex logic.
var todayConcat = "" + parent.mlptoday.year + parent.mlptoday.month + parent.mlptoday.date;
var remTimeConcat = remTime.replace(/\./g, "");
if (remTimeConcat < todayConcat) {
//the input time is in the past
}
Just make sure the dates and months always have the leading zero.
i've a form user can enter any date , but i want to set a date range validation . for example: from 1-12-2012 to 1-1-2013 and the system can't accept any date from user that not in the range.. i've tried this javascript code but it doesn't give me any alert even when date not in range ..
this is part of my form :
echo "<tr><th bgcolor='FF6600'> Date <font size='4' color='red'>* </font></th>
<td> <input type='date' name='v2' value='' ></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><th bgcolor='FF6600'> Time <font size='4' color='red'>* </font></th>
<td> <input type='time' name='v3' value='' ></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><th bgcolor='FF6600'> Place <font size='4' color='red'>* </font></th>
<td> <input type='text' name='v4' value='' ></td></tr>";
and this is the javascript code
<script language="javascript">
function validation(form)
{
var v2 = document.getElementById('v2');
var date = v2.value;
if ( (v2 > new date('12/12/2012')) &&
(v2 < new date('1/1/2013')) ){
// date is in your valid range
return true;
} else {
// date is not in your valid range
alert("date is not in valid range")
return false;
}
}
</script>
To compare dates, you should be using the unix timestamp, and right now the first date you're getting from the value is a string, and you can't compare that against date objects?
Make sure you have timestamps in unix time, and then compare those:
function validation(form) {
var v2 = document.getElementById('v2'),
date = new Date(v2.value),
d1 = date.getTime(),
d2 = new Date('12/12/2012').getTime(),
d3 = new Date('1/1/2013').getTime();
if (d1 > d2 || d1 < d3) {
return true;
}else{
alert("date is not in valid range")
}
}
You can make a function like this:
function checkMyDateWithinRange(myDdate){
var startDate = new Date(2012, 11, 1);
var endDate = new Date(2012, 0, 1);
if (startDate < myDate && myDate < endDate) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
and test any date like calling this function:
var inputDate= document.getElementById('tbDate'),
date = new Date(inputDate.value);
if(!checkMyDateWithinRange(date)){
alert('Date is not in range!!!');
}
