Date Format

Hi, can anyone tell me how to set the format within my Form text box to date i.e. dd/mm/yyyy, so that the user is forced to input the date in this manner??

That's not possible, at least not reliably. You would either have to use
three different input fields or - even better and more userfriendly - a
server-side script that accepts different date formats and reformats the
date according to your requirements. How to do that depends on the used
scripting language. In PHP for example the function strtotime() might
come in handy.

Thanks Michael, should've joined the forum sooner, I've spend days trying to do this!

Use a date picker script to force the issue.

Get the free date picker from this site:

Thanks Steve, I've downloaded it and saved it to file. I guess I need to insert it, but what as?

There is documentation and examples to help you on the site. The date
picker is javascript.
