Future date validation

Hi.

One of the fields that we collect is the users licence expiry date.
In the date fields there is a validation rule for Past Dates "validate[required,custom[date],past[2014/11/18]]" which is good for date of birth, but what i need is a future date, and it needs to be future to NOW, not a given date.

Can this be done?

Cheers
Andrew

Hi Andrew

According to jQuery validation engine documentation which we integrate in Events Booking, you can use this rule:


validate[required,custom[date],past[now]]


Please try that and it should work

Thanks for that Tuan (Great to see a developer who is so active in their own forum).

Just a quick note to any one else that comes across this,

if you want to validate that the date is sometime in the future (licence expiry date) then the correct validation is

validate[required,custom[date],future[now]]

I got this from www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquer...alidation-is-a-mess/ as i was looking for a list of jQuery validation engine possible codes.

Tuan may be able to give a better URL to see examples.

Cheers

Ah, sorry Andrew. You are correct, the rule you write is correct in this case. The documentation with sample can be found at posabsolute.github.io/jQuery-Validation-...other-element-s-name
