cfinput date range?

[Rufhausen]

Is it possible to use the range attribute for cfinput for a range of dates in CF 7?
I'm not finding any examples on how to accomplish this.

Thanks.

I don't think so. You can always write your own js to do that. Or you can do it with cold fusion when the form is submitted. Or you can do both.

Set a minimum and maximum date that can be selected? I do not think there is a built in CF property for that. But it is possible using action script. Try this tip from Nick Watson, but use the selectableRange property instead of disabledRanges

The sample uses the less elegant cfsavecontent method. If you are running 7.0.1 (?) you could use <cfformitem type="script"> instead.

<!--- set the allowed ranges for the calendar --->
<cfset startDate = "09/15/2008">
<cfset endDate = "09/20/2008">

<cfoutput>
<cfsavecontent variable="loadFields">
<!--- this is not allowed with mx 7
//var #ToScript( parseDateTime(startDate), "startDate", false, false)#
//var #ToScript( parseDateTime(endDate), "endDate", false, false)#
--->
var startDate:Date = mx.formatters.DateFormatter.parseDateString("#startDate#");
var endDate:Date = mx.formatters.DateFormatter.parseDateString("#endDate#");
testDate.selectableRange = {rangeStart:startDate, rangeEnd:endDate};
</cfsavecontent>
</cfoutput>

<cfform name="testForm" format="flash" onLoad="#loadFields#" width="200">
<cfinput type="datefield" name="testDate" >
</cfform>

I was assuming you meant with a <cfinput type="datefield"...>. If not, disregard my response. It does not apply.
