Is it necessary for the user to see the date that is 7 days in the future? If that second date is being stored, maybe you can just calculate it on submission?

If the dates can be flexible, here's a neat jquery option to ensure the end date is not before the start date.

yes the user has to see the future date and also user is not allowed to change that date that means we have to disable the second date field when user enters date in first field.

Actually it sounds like you want it to always be disabled, which the disable parameter or form controls handles fairly well.

Then you would just use JavaScript date functions to calcualte the 7 day date when the first field is completed and dislplay it in the second field.

The first major point is that this is a JavaScript solution that only applies to ColdFusion because it will deliver it to the client along with whatever HTML your page will contain.

JavaScript date object

and its disable property.

Kirannaga, there is no need for us to re-invent the wheel. You will find the answer in the thread "Advance date 90 days when date change in Form".

i am getting error

Which?

Report · Dec 14, 2009

this is the error

Bind failed, element not found: avDateFrom [Enable debugging by adding 'cfdebug' to your URL parameters to see more information]

I see that you're also passing the value avDateFrom to the custom tag. Is there more than one field named avDateFrom? What happens when you temporarily comment out the custom tag?

Report · Dec 14, 2009

there are no more fieldname with avDateFrom,but when i commented the customtag i am not able to select date , i need to select date from using this custom tag only. because we have all the forms with same custom tag that is used for date selections.

any help regarding this issue ?

What do you want to achieve? In particular, what do the form fields stand for, and what does the custom tag do?

Report · Dec 17, 2009

the form field is for just puttind date and the custom tag will will give thedate picker that is populated so that we will select the date from that.

Report · Dec 17, 2009

You could just make the form field avDateFrom and avDateTo to be of type datefield, instead of text
