Скачать или смотреть LiveCycle JavaScript Compare Dates

This is tutorial to explain how to use JavaScript in Adobe LiveCycle to compare dates and determine which date is earliest. This has been useful in some smart forms that I have created. The Code is as follows:

//Get date field values
var sDate1 = event.target.getField("form1[0].Section1[0].DateField1[0]").value;
var sDate2 = event.target.getField("form1[0].Section1[0].DateField2[0]").value;

//Convert Date 1 to days
var y1 = parseInt(sDate1.substring(0,4));
var m1 = parseInt(sDate1.substring(5,7));
var d1 = parseInt(sDate1.substring(8,10));
var date1 = 365*y1 + 30*m1 + d1;


//Convert Date 2 to days
var y2 = parseInt(sDate2.substring(0,4));
var m2 = parseInt(sDate2.substring(5,7));
var d2 = parseInt(sDate2.substring(8,10));
var date2 = 365*y2 + 30*m2 + d2;

if (date1 ＜ date2){
Text1.rawValue = "The first date is earlier";
}else if (date1 == date2){
Text1.rawValue = "The dates are the same";
}else {
Text1.rawValue = "The second date is earlier";
}

Note: due to YouTube restrictions you need to change the ＜ in the last statement to the one on your keyboard.
