I am attaching an image of a portion of a log page. As you see, there are multiple (six) identical records - each has a date field.
I need to do two things: 1) Assure that the date being entered does not predate the date field in the previous record, and 2)
verify that there is indeed a date in the date field of the previous record (avoid skipping records). Here is some code I have tried, but I cannot get the if condition to work:
Please share your thoughts.
//THIS VALIDATES THE DATE ENTERED
var cMsg = "The date you entered is invalid.\n\nPlease enter a date that does not pre-date the previous entry date.";
var nIcon = 0;
var nType = 0;
var cTitle = "DATE ERROR";
var str = event.target.name;
var res = str.charAt(str.length-1);
var d1 = Date.parse(this.getField("0." + (res-1)).value);
var d2 = Date.parse(event.value);
if (d1 == 0) {
if (d1 > d2) {
app.beep();
app.alert(cMsg, nIcon, nType, cTitle);
event.value = "";
}
} else {
var cMsg = "This is an invalid entry\n\nThe previous date entry cannot be empty.\n\nPlease use the entry above first.";
app.beep();
app.alert(cMsg, nIcon, nType, cTitle);
}
