cannot post an end date

Expand Post »
I would really appreciate help from anyone who can tell me how to permit a user to enter an end date, and have it accepted by the system.

Currently a customer can enter a start date, but if they enter an end date that is in the same month as the start date, the system reports "select an end date greater than current date", which is ridiculous considering that any date after the start date is greater than the start date.

I look forward to any help I can get.

Re: cannot post an end date

Can we see the code that generates that error? Some simple logic changes should fix the problem.

  2.   <tr>
  3.     <td>Start date:</td>
  4.     <td colspan="2">
  5.       <input type="text" name="txt_start" id="txt_start"  style="width:200px"  onBlur="Check_date();"/>
  6.     </td>
  7.   </tr>
  8.   <tr>
  9.     <td>End date:</td>
  10.     <td colspan="2">
  11.       <input type="text" name="txt_end" id="txt_end" style="width:200px" onBlur="Check_date();" />
  12.     </td>
  13.   </tr>
  14.  </table>
  15. <script type="text/javascript">
  16. function Check_date()
  17. {
  18.  
  19. 		var start = new Date (document.getElementById('txt_start').value);
  20. 		var end = new Date (document.getElementById('txt_end').value);
  21. 		if(start>end)
  22. 		{
  23.  
  24. 				alert("start date not greatewr than end date")		
  25. 				return false;
  26.  
  27. 		}
  28. 		else
  29. 		{

Thanks for your erply Keith. Because I cant code, I am not sure which part of the code actually tells the user that they can't post.

Here is part of the code from the offending page, if you need more, please let me know.
