rules Data Page - Submission Form

[danielg05]

I would like to add a rule to a data page that prevents a user from selecting an erroneous date, ie anything after a certain like the current date or something after a age limit for the application.  When I try to choose greater than or equal to for the birthday calendar field, it does not allow me to add a condition that prevents the user from proceeding.  Is there a way to do this inside the data page?  Thank you.

This kind of validation can be done using Java Script. Have a look at this post

This was a huge help, thank you Mathilda.  I enhanced that set up with the following.  Fyi @Community swap your value with "DATEFIELDNAME" and this will go back a revolving 1 year without manual intervention:

<script>
 var Marker = new Date();
Marker.setFullYear(Marker.getFullYear() - 1, Marker.getMonth());

function chk_date(){
var mydate = document.getElementById('InsertRecordDATEFIELDNAME').value;

if ( Date.parse(mydate) >=  Marker) {
alert('pick a date before the marker');
return false;
}

}
document.getElementById('caspioform').onsubmit=chk_date;
</script>
