where the date validation set on a form?

[xren]

Hi,

I have a date field on an inherited form. When I put wrong date format and hit enter key, an alert window pop up show:

Filed xxx is not a valid date - should be in format xxxx.

I could not figure out where this is set even I found the following when I view source code from browser:

ebmn.addInputType(new eb.InputType('DATE','Field \'&&1\' is not a valid date - should be in format &&3.','yyyy-MM-dd'));

I know enter button will trigger the first button of submit.

But still did not found where the validation set.

Thanks for help.

Validation of date and numeric fields is always enabled, you don't have to do anything.

Can this be turned off?

No you can't turn it off. If you want a different format, you should use a character field instead of a date field. There is no automatic validation of character fields.
