Date : Auto-formatting

[Aarsh]

Our QA posted this : Date formatting:  When ‘04162013’ is entered, the field will auto-format the entry to reflect ‘04/16/2013’.  If ‘0416/2013’ or ‘04/162013’ is entered….the field flags the entry as an error and will not auto-format

Is there anything I can do using JavaScript and such ?

Hi,

You can intercept the client-side OnValueChanging event and correct the value. An example of this is demonstrated below:

<telerik:RadDateInput runat="server">
        <ClientEvents OnValueChanging="ValueChanging" />
    </telerik:RadDateInput>
    <script type="text/javascript">

        function ValueChanging(sender, args)
        {
            var newValue = args.get_newValue();
            if (newValue.indexOf("/") > -1)
            {
                var newValue = args.get_newValue();
                var n = newValue.replace("/", "");
                args.set_newValue(n);
            }
        }
    </script>

All the best,
