    Unique DOB Pattern Not Working

    meem23 Community Member

      I have a unique pattern for a DOB field.  If the user doesn't enter the correct pattern, a message pops up and the focus is set to the field - see script below.  This works perfect for me, but not my users.  I'm using Adobe LiveCycle ES with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and they are using Adobe Reader 9.0.  Why would this make a difference?

       

      form1.#subform[0].DOB::exit - (JavaScript, client)

       

      var

       

       

      r = new RegExp("^[0-9]+\\/[a-zA-Z]{2}+\\/[0-9]");

      var

       

       

      result = r.test(this.rawValue);

      if

       

       

      (result == true) {

       

      true

      }

      else

      {

      app.alert("Please enter a valid Date of Birth: DD/Mo. Code/YY; e.g. 26/JA/67");

      xfa.host.setFocus("DOB");

       

      }
