Maybe you weren't aware of the search facility here.

Click the Search button - just above your post, just after title of the thread. Then type in the search phrase: date validation

You will see the many many many questions (and answers) to this common problem. Hopefully you will find what you are looking for in that list!

Cheers,
Jeff

My advice to you would be to find one that you're happy with that validates "dd/mm/yy", and then add in the empty field check afterwards.

If you have one that you like that does the initial validation, post it here, and I'm sure someone should be able to add the empty test.

Hope this helps,
Dan

There are plenty of examples here that validate date information. If you are unwilling to take some of these examples apart and discover how they work (so that adding a simple check for an empty field is possible) - then I suggest you look for a pre-packaged script at one of the sites that specialise in offering them.
