I don't think solving all that problems (however simple) worth the effort, as you can always use much more adequate DateTimePicker. Please see:

If you will listen to your client "requirements" too much, you risk not developing anything working at all. One of the difficult part of software development is making people to accept your suggestions/decisions. Without this, no development is possible.

thanks now i will definitely talk with client.

I'm so glad you take it so constructively. It's never easy but important and should ultimately help. It's less difficult if you have a positive sample which can look convincing to the client, which could be well the case with the DateTimePicker.

Just catch the Blur event for the three textboxes and check that the values are valid within each of the three boxes.

E.g.

JavaScript

<input type="text" id="1" value="test" onBlur="javascript:Validate()();">
function Validate(){
 if text > 31 {alert (Invalid Date);}.
}

You will need to handle leap year validaation and month validations as well (30, 31 days etc).
So it might be useful to use something like http://www.the-art-of-web.com/javascript/validate-date/[^]. You can do this when all the three date elements have been entered.
