Date masked textbox for user inputGood Morning,
I have some users which are having difficulty entering dates in the format MM/DD/YYYY. I validate the user's entry, but have been asked to research masking the textbox so the users entry will automatically display as MM/DD/YYYY in the textbox for the entered value. Thank you for the help, Erik There used to be a DatePicker control
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cmctl298/html/vbctlDatePickerControl.asp from Microsoft that I still use in some of my clients web applications. You might have to search the MSDN for how to download it if it is still available. You can also write your own textbox control (using a Windows Control Library application) to create and package it as .cab file to be downloaded from your website. But my favorite is simple JavaScript that would only take a notepad and five minutes of your time to do as in this demo: http://www.webswapp.com/CodeSamples/aspnet20/ClientSideValidation.aspx Show quoteHide quote "Erik" wrote: > Good Morning, > I have some users which are having difficulty entering dates in the format > MM/DD/YYYY.

I have added the script ("favorite" solution) to the head section of the html file, but am getting an error on onkeypress="ValidateDate(); for the textbox tag line. Is there something I am missing?

Please disregard the previous email. Even though the attribute is underlined as an error, everything executes properly. Thank you again for another quality, elegant solution.

ASP.NET users. You can find them on the Control Gallery at www.asp.net, www.123aspx.com, and www.411asp.net. I make one called "Peter's Date Package" (http://www.peterblum.com/datecontrols/home.aspx). It filters out illegal keystrokes and reformats when you tab out after applying some fuzzy logic to identify what the user meant. There are demos on my site. --- Peter Blum www.PeterBlum.com Email: PLB***@PeterBlum.com Creator of "Professional Validation And More" at http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx Show quoteHide quote "Erik" <E***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:920E694A-4B4A-451F-8A5B-174346FB26DC@microsoft.com... > Good Morning, > I have some users which are having difficulty entering dates in the format > MM/DD/YYYY.
