For example, if the user enters 1 in the MM field are they entering a 1 for January or is it the first digit of 10, 11, or 12? You can write JavaScript code to filter the input and make fairly intelligent guesses about what the user wants, but you will always be better off letting the user do more and the computer do less in ambiguous situations. Start by anaylizing all the possible input patterns for each field and write some simple checks for the boundary conditions. Then you can start adding more intelligence to the filter. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
