Age Verification Script broken in IE

**Get Em Fast** · 7 May 2009, 03:54 PM

Could any of you brilliant people shed some light on the reason this script will NOT work in IE (Lets you right in, no matter what age you enter......does not restrict under-age viewers) when it works perfectly in FF?

Site is:

http://adultdvds.hardtogetdvd.com/index.html

Script is:

Code:

<html>
<head>
	<title>Age Verification</title>
	<script language="javascript">
		function checkAge()
		{
			/* the minumum age you want to allow in */
			var min_age = 18;

			/* change "age_form" to whatever your form has for a name="..." */
			var year = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]["year"].value);
			var month = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]["month"].value) - 1;
			var day = parseInt(document.forms["age_form"]["day"].value);

			var theirDate = new Date((year + min_age), month, day);
			var today = new Date;

			if ( (today.getTime() - theirDate.getTime()) < 0) {
				alert("You are too young to enter this site!"); location.replace("http://www.hardtogetdvd.com/");
				return false;
			}
			else {
				return true;
			}
		}
	</script>
</head>

If anybody could tell me what's goin' on with this thing in IE, I sure would appreciate it.

So, is this a question that even stumped the experts? I really could use some advise on this, as the adult part of his shop can't be opened until this is resolved.

Or, we could just make EVERYBODY use FireFox, huh?

I'm having the same problem. This script is great but doesn't work with IE7. Please let me know if anyone has any luck with this.

**jefjones** · 20 Aug 2009, 08:55 AM

Hi,

I found the same script online somewhere and had the same problem until I noticed that there were no 'values' for the 'options' in the select list. So, for example:

<option>2007</option>

Should read:

<option value="2007">2007</option>

Hope it helps.
