But how do i call to it? In other words, here's what I put in <HEAD>:
[tt]function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f > n)
{
}
else
{
alert("Please enter an assigned date that is before the due date.";
}
}
todayDate(document.form.AssignedDate.value,document.form.DueDate.value)[/tt]
So how can I make this script run when the form is submitted? Like onSubmit i]WHAT[/i].

only put the function definition in <head>, between script tags of course
for your form, do: <form ... onsubmit="return todayDate(document.form.AssignedDate.value, document.from.DueDate.value)">
if you are going to do an onsubmit, you should put "return false;" in the else branch of the function's if statement, after the alert ray

Here is my script (I wanted[/] to change f < n):
function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f < n)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
Here is my form tag:
<form action="add_update.cfm" method="post" name="form" onSubmit="
todaydate(document.form.AssignedDate.value, document.form.DueDate.value)">
Ryan ;-]
function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f < n)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
Here is my form tag:
<form action="add_update.cfm" method="post" name="form" onSubmit="
todaydate(document.form.AssignedDate.value, document.form.DueDate.value)">

the following accomplishes what you want:
<script>
function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f <= n)
{
return true
}
else
{
alert("Please enter an assigned date that is before the due date."
return false;
}
}
</script>
<form name="formname" onsubmit="return todayDate(document.formname.AssignedDate.value,document.formname.DueDate.value)">
<input name="AssignedDate">
<input name="DueDate">
<input type="submit">
</form> jared@aauser.com
<script>
function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f <= n)
{
return true
}
else
{
alert("Please enter an assigned date that is before the due date."
;return false;
}
}
</script>
<form name="formname" onsubmit="return todayDate(document.formname.AssignedDate.value,document.formname.DueDate.value)">
<input name="AssignedDate">
<input name="DueDate">
<input type="submit">
</form> jared@aauser.com

The code doesn't work. After much toying I can't seem to find what's wrong with it (it comes up with the alert regardless of what the dates are):
function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f > n)
{
return true;
}
else
{
alert("Please enter an assigned date that is before the due date."
return false;
}
}
And in the submit button I have the following:
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Submit" onclick="return todayDate('document.form.AssignedDate.value','document.form.DueDate.value')">
I have the file uploaded on a live server. Go to:
UserName: jbernhardt
PW: test
Then click on 'Add a new assignment' to view the form in question.

<script>
function todayDate(date, old)
{
var f = new Date(date);
var n = new Date(old);
if (f <= n)
{
return true
}
else
{
alert("Please enter an assigned date that is before the due date."
return false;
}
}
