Validate Callout/Calendar.do selection

I'm working on a date picker using the "/Callout/Calendar.do" function. I have the cgi-callout date in my DCR

...cgi-callout url="/iw-cc/DataCapture/Callout/Calendar.do" label="Select Date"...

Question: Is there a way to validate that I can only select future dates (i.e. one month from current date) and it will prompt if you select a past date?

Appreciate any help on this.

Thanks.

You can do anything you can code.

I do not know if there is a future date only flag for that calendar. There have been a few floating around with some undocumented features. Cannot just crack open the code and look like a simple JS one.

Your best bet is to do it in FormAPI. When the item changes compare the date to today.

And if that's not sexy enough for you, I'd suggest rolling your own calendar popup.. Using Calendar.do is an unsupported hack for the lazy, which is fine if you only need the basic functionality but I'd stay clear of trying to muck around with it too much. It's probably easier to write a custom .ipl or .jsp that uses jQuery UI (or similar), which actually supports doing fancy stuff like this.

Thanks for the responses.

I'll dig into this FormAPI or creating my own calendar if customization is inevitable.
