I'm looking for a straight-forward, self-contained JS that takes a date (someone's birthdate in mm/dd/yyyy format) and calculates the YEAR when that person will turn 18. I'm integrating the script into a PDF form using fields so it's not web-based. Most of the scripts available are htm-form based and that's not what I need.

I've tried some basic JS that takes a variable's value and performs a simple addition action but I'm not getting what I'm after. It has to be a JavaScript.

Thanks in advance! cool.gif

CODE

<script language="javascript">
var reply = prompt("Please enter your date of birth (mm/dd/yyyy)", " ");
var newstring = new String(reply);
var arrTemp = new Array();
arrTemp = newstring.split("/");
var year = parseInt(arrTemp[arrTemp.length-1]);
year += 18;
alert("You were born in " + parseInt(arrTemp[arrTemp.length-1]) + "\nYou will graduate in the year of our Lord " + year);
</script>

As an FYI, you could also use the javascript Date object, but it didn't seem necessary. Please note that this does not validate user input...it is always wise to validate.
