Help with field validation

Greetings,

Here is my form:  http://form.jotformpro.com/form/41495760669973

I need to validate the Month and Year fields to disallow past selections.  For example, it is June now and if a user selects a month value of January-May I want a standard validation error message to appear as it does with other field validations.

I can't use the Date/Time selector as I need the individual dropdown fields to appear as they do now.

Can you provide me with a validation method?  I suspect some simple javascript will do the job but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Please help.

Thank you,

Scott

This is not currently possible to do that using standard form builder functionality, but it might be possible with the custom javascript code. We will try to come up with some example, and then we will get back to you.

Thank you.

You can try to include the following form code after form source:

If you need any further assistance, let us know.

It looks like that works.  I'll give it a try...

Thank you!

This works but has a a couple of minor problems.

How do we make it:

- not insert a line at the top of the form (not move the rest of the form down)

- display only 1 error message (it's duplicating upon more selection attempts)

- position the error relative to the Month selector?

Thank you very much.
