Help with a script to deline members of a certain age

[Rob (SA)]

Hi,

I have a form processor and the form seen on that link does actually work and submit.

I use Bluevoda and the form processor is something call ABVFP.

Hmm, I see, That seems to be a pre-factured processor and im not really sure how you could add this age plugin to that. It may be better to age validate through javascript, this would be a simmilar approach.

After quick googling, I found http://www.kuranes.co.uk/utils/agecheck.html

<script language="javascript">
		function checkAge()
		{
			/* the minumum age you want to allow in */
			var min_age = 8;
            var max_age = 18;

			/* change "age_form" to whatever your form has for a name="..." */
			var year = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]      ["year"]      .value);
			var month = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]      ["month"]      .value) - 1;
			var day = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]      ["day"]      .value);

			var theirDate = new Date((year + min_age), month, day);
			var today = new Date;

			if ( (today.getTime() - theirDate.getTime()) < 0) {
				alert("Get Out, Scum!");
				return false;
			}
			else {
				return true;
			}
		}
	</script>

However this is veering from PHP and of course it will not work if you disable javascript. You may want to post in the javascript section of this site for further help if you run into problems.

Thanks for your help.

Javascript can also work and I will try the other link offered.

Again the challenge is how to insert it?

I appreciate your help

Paste the javascript code into the current javascript you provided my with, and then use the select boxes for the date of birth, but yes, I suggest you make a javascript topic about this and how to implement it, as javascript is not my forte.
