Re: [CF-Scripting] Syntax error

which text, I may have it on my desk...

should it look like:

if (testDate.getDate( ) = = day) {
    do stuff;
}

I assume the variable day is a date??? and testDate.getDate() is a date also...

  Hi 

  I am getting a syntax error on the following script on line 33, char
  28 (if (testDate.getDate( ) = = day) {)

  Could somebody give it the once over and let me know what is wrong
  with it please (it is actually taken from an O'Reilly text and I have
  eyed it correctly with the book a couple of times):

  <script language="JavaScript">
  function checkDate(fld) {
  var mo, day, yr;
  var entry = fld.value;
  var reLong = /\b\d{1,2}[\/-]\d{1,2}[\/-]\d{4}\b/;
  var reShort = /\b\d{1,2}[\/-]\d{1,2}[\/-]\d{2}\b/; 
  var valid = (reLong.test(entry)) || (reShort.test(entry));
  if (valid) {
  var delimChar = (entry.indexOf("/") != -1) ? "/" : "-";
  var delim1 = entry.indexOf(delimChar);
  var delim2 = entry.lastIndexOf(delimChar);
  mo = parseInt(entry.substring(0, delim1), 10);
  day = parseInt(entry.substring(delim1+1, delim2), 10);
  yr = parseInt(entry.substring(delim2+1), 10);
  //handle 2 digit year
  if (yr < 100) {
  var today = new Date();
  //get current century floor (e.g. 2000)
  var  currCent = parseInt(today.getFullYear() / 100) * 100;
  //two digits up to this year + 15 expands to current century
  var threshold = (today.getFullYear() + 15) - currCent;
  if (yr > threshold) {
  yr += currCent - 100;
  } else {
  yr += currCent;
  } 
  } 
  var testDate = new Date(yr, mo-1, day);
  if (testDate.getDate( ) = = day) {
  if (testDate.getMonth() + 1 = = mo) {
  if (testDate.getFullYear() = = yr) {
  //fill field with database-friendly format
  fld.value = mo + "/" + day + "/" + yr;
  return true;
  } else {
  alert("There is a problem with the year entry.");
  }
  } else {
  alert("There is a problem with the month entry.");
  }
  } else {
  alert("There is a problem with the date entry");
  }
  } else {
  alert("Incorrect date format. Enter as mm/dd/yyyy.");
  }
  return false;
  }
  </script>

  </head>

  <body>
  <form name="myForm">

  <input type="text" name="dateIn"
  onBlur="checkDate(document.myForm.dateIn.value)">
  <br>
  <input type="text" name="dateOut">

  </form>
