Hi all,

May I ask a javascript question?? (sorry to post here!) below is a form checking input date. The input date cann't be earlier than today. But it also compares hours and minutes which I don't want. Suppose you input 08/20/2003, it thinks it's 08/20/2003 00:00:00 which is earlier than now (08/20/2003 15:30:00). How to solve this?? Thank you!

<html>
<head>
<script>

function validate(){
var obj = document.forms("shipping");

//$$ sending date cannot be earlier than today

          now = new Date();
          sDate = obj.p_sending_date.value;
          sDate = sDate.substring(0,2) + "/" +

sDate.substring(3,5) + "/" + sDate.substring(6,10);

inputDate = new Date(sDate);

          if (inputDate < now) {
             alert("Sending date cannot be earlier
than today.");
             
   }else{
             alert("ok");
          }

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="shipping">
<input type=text name="p_sending_date">
<input type=submit value="submit"

onClick="validate();">
</form>
</body>
</html>
