Don't forget to change those id's with yours. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/restrict-dates#post-12758 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 01:23:12 +0000 alfonso 12758@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I'm also interesting to do the same.

However, when the form being submitted, it will check the date being entered and display error message if the selected date is a date prior to the current date.</p> <p>Is that okay for you? If so, I can provide you with the code for this. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/restrict-dates#post-12367 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 02:27:56 +0000 gilman01 12367@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Anyone know how I might restrict a user from selecting a date prior to the current date? I have created an appointment form but I do not want to allow someone to select a date prior to the current date they fill out the form.</p> <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. </p>
