Date format from web

[mdurg]

Any dates from the web in the format of 10/24/03 are turning into 1903 instead of 2003 inside of Filemaker. The field is a normal text entry field in a CDML web page. Is there a setting inside of Filemaker or in CDML that would change that? Or should I try to validate the date with javascript on field exit?

Thanks,

Mark Durgee

Use the Javascript method.

All the best.

I believe there is a TI dcoument which addresses this issue in a limited way. If I recall correctly, from a browser the date must be entered mm/dd/yyyy, else FMPro defaults to 19yy. Such entry is not an issue in peer-to-peer.

Hi, Mark! Here's a thread I posted about a month ago in which I asked the same thing.

CDML Century Date Formats 19xx vs. 20xx

I haven't had a chance to use Garry's solution yet (sigh, I've been busy for months) but holler if you need help with it. Folks are pretty accomodating around here!
