Javascript dd/mm/yyyy validation.
Easy to find simple and effective Javascript dd/mm/yyyy validation.
Use the below code in script tags.
function ValidateForm(){
var dt= document.getElementById('txtDate').value
if (isDate(dt.value)==false){
dt.focus()
return false
}
return true
}
var dtCh= "/";
var minYear=1900;
var maxYear=2100;
function isInteger(s){
var i;
for (i = 0; i < s.length; i++){
// Check that current character is number.
var c = s.charAt(i);
if (((c < "0") || (c > "9"))) return false;
}
// All characters are numbers.
return true;
}
function stripCharsInBag(s, bag){
var i;
var returnString = "";
// Search through string's characters one by one.
// If character is not in bag, append to returnString.
for (i = 0; i < s.length; i++){
var c = s.charAt(i);
if (bag.indexOf(c) == -1) returnString += c;
}
return returnString;

function daysInFebruary (year){
// February has 29 days in any year evenly divisible by four,
// EXCEPT for centurial years which are not also divisible by 400.

Top Search Engine Page Ranking Secrets in Google
1. Unique page titles
Create proper unique and accurate page title.
2.
do not forget to add this metatag in all your pages and try to keep most matchable keys with the corresponding title of the page.
3. url should have keys of search
if your page will be in a folder, your search key and folder names should match,
this will increases the chances of hits.
4. Sitemap
Sitemap is a must and it should cover all the links involved in the website.
5. Consider what happens when a user removes part of your URL
if a user enter partial URL eg: www.abc.com/Jan/2008 instead of www.abc.com/Jan/2008/home.htm the website should navigate to any default page, so you will never miss an guest user and it improves page ranking
6. Have a useful 404 page
have a custom page to redirect to a default page instead of showing 404 page.
7. Include google custom search.
8. Heading tag
use appropriate heading tags after the body
Eg: 10 Top Secrets of google, 10 Top Secrets of Life,10 Top Secrets of Fun.. :-)
9. Alt in the Image
do not forget to put "alt" description for each images . Eg :alt="www.abc.com : home logo Google"
10. Use web webmaster tools.
