minDate() not working in frm_date_field_js

Please help.

I am implementing a simple date picker restricting selections from 01/01/1900 to 08/25/2000. My code in a snippet is...

add_action('frm_date_field_js', 'limit_my_date_field');
function limit_my_date_field($field_id){
if($field_id == 'FIELDKEY '){ //change FIELDKEY to the key of your date field
echo ', minDate(1900, 0, 1), maxDate(2018, 7, 25)';
} else {
echo ',minDate: null, maxDate: null';
}
}

Earliest year/mo/day works. Check.

Latest year works. Check.

Latest month and day do not get validated. Ie. User is able to select dates past 08/25/2000.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Your maxdate() in the code example is 2018, not 2000.

Man thanks for your response!

Sorry for the typo. However, even with the maxDate() using 2000 (see code below), it accepts invalid values.

add_action('frm_date_field_js', 'limit_my_date_field');
function limit_my_date_field($field_id){
if($field_id == 'cu98n'){ //change FIELDKEY to the key of your date field
echo ', minDate(1900, 0, 1), maxDate(2000, 7, 25)';
} else {
echo ',minDate: null, maxDate: null';
}
}

I've also attached a screenshot of the FF settings. I'm thinking it may be related to the fact that I have values in the Year Range field. But when I don't add values there, FF will default to 0,+10 anyways. So it is still "broken".

Any ideas?
