Scheduler Application and Date Validation
Within my form to schedule a new tutoring/proctoring/notetaking session, I have perfected the validation necessary for the date field. With this now in place, the user cannot enter "bad" dates, such as 11/31/2006 or 2/29/2007. After some trial and error with a couple Javascript examples I gleaned from the web (and making little progress), I sought advise from Michael Ellis. Michael has developed a couple of procedures within the WOU_UTIL schema that display a date box and handles the validation. This was easy to implement, and I had to do very little with the resulting date field to insert the value into the Oracle table. I had to use the "secure" version of the date box procedure, and I have most of the "secure/insecure data" issues resolved at this time.
