How to set date conditions on PDF?

[Christine350637008cup]

Hello,

I need to set date conditions so that when a student enters a date into the ORIGINAL EXAM DATE field, it is BEFORE today; and when a student enters a date into the PROPOSED EXAM DATE field, it is AFTER today.

Thank you!

Assuming the date fields are formatted as mm/dd/yyyy, enter the following custom validation script into the Original Exam Date field:

if(event.value && util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", event.value)> new Date())
{
app.alert("Date must be before today.",1)
event.value="";
}

Enter the following custom validation script into the proposed exam date:

if(event.value && util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", event.value)<= new Date())
{
app.alert("Date must be after today.",1)
event.value="";
}

To reject the entered value it's better to use:

event.rc = false;

Instead of:

event.value="";

The former will revert the field to its previous value, instead of clearing it altogether.
