I have two fields (1) start date and (2) end date in a PDF form. I would like a message to appear if the user selects a date that is not between specific dates. For instance, if a user does not select a date that is ">01/01/2014 AND <01/01/2015" I have tried the following code but with no success. I'm using 'FormCalc' on the 'Exit' event.
var selectedNum = Date2Num($.rawValue, "YYYY-MM-DD")
if ( selectedNum >01/01/2014AND<01/01/2015) then
xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a date for 2014.")
xfa.host.setFocus("DateTimeField1")
endif
You can try the following code.
var selectedNum = Date2Num($.rawValue, "YYYY-MM-DD")
if ( (selectedNum<41639)OR (selectedNum>42004)) then
xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a date for 2014.")
xfa.host.setFocus("DateTimeField1")
endif
Date2Num function according to documentation link.
Returns the number of days since the epoch, given a date string.
that means that in comparison you should also use numbers.
