Custom date validation still require day and month: http://www.massimocorner.com/validator/samples/custom_date_validation.htm Sounds like you need a custom pattern: http://www.massimocorner.com/validator/samples/custom_pattern.htm Something along these lines (I haven't test it!): <script type="text/javascript"> tmt_globalPatterns.year = new RegExp("^\([0-9]{2,4}\)$); </script> ---------------------------- Massimo Foti Tools for ColdFusion and Dreamweaver developers: http://www.massimocorner.com ---------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231790 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
