Quiz Slide - Enter Today's Date

Hi Al

I made couple of tweaks in your javascript code and renamed the variables to match the code. This thread with video tutorial was helpful:

Also the format which the date should be typed in is very important so you have to tell the users how they need to insert a date. See Storyline file attached.

 

Hi Joanna,

I went through the changes you made, deleting the extra variables I had created, and I really understand it now.  I want to thank you very much!

Is there a change I can make to the js to make the month 2 digits (03/10/2016)?  I tried changing var month to + 2 but it advanced the month to April, so I set it back.

Here's that code again.

I am very happy that the quiz slide works now, but I'm concerned that my learners will enter the full date and get the answer wrong.  As below...

 

 

Thanks again ;-)

Al

Hi, Al -- thanks for reaching out! In addition to assistance Joanna is providing you here, I thought you might also want to take a look at a few other threads on the topic of adding dates that may be of some interest:

Hopefully that helps, or perhaps others will be able to share additional ideas to assist, as well. :)
