i have text boxes on a form on my page, but i want to put like an imput mask on
them because they are writing to my database that has a short date (## / ## /
####) fields. Is there a way I can do this on my start date and end date
textboxes??? I have all the synamic text put in ands recordsets created and
everything. I need this for to add a new record and to upset my records. 2
different forms but i want ot mak the imut masks on both of them. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

You have to do such things on the server in your form processing script.
Check the submitted values if they match the required format (with a
regular expression for example), if not complain with an error message.
