Thanks, that will get me close. I thought maybe the code would go in one of the "" spaces towards the end.
When I post your code exactly it does not validate.
I edited to math the formatting on my date picker and it still will not validate. Is it possible that the format I have used is simply incompatible with WAValidate?

Here is my datepicker

php:

$(function(){

    $('#dob').datepicker({

        changeMonth: true,

        changeYear: true,

        maxDate: 0,

        yearRange: "-100:+0",

        dateFormat: 'M-dd-yy',

        onClose: closeDatePicker_dob

    });

});



and here is the validation line I tried in addition to your suggestion



  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateDT((isset($_POST["dob"])?date('M-dd-yy', strtotime($_POST["dob"])):"") . "",true,"","","",false,"","","",true,11);

M-dd-yy renders a date like Mar-6-2015 which is what my client requires.

I have included the full page in the PM section.

Thanks.
