This code is to create a web page containing a form that should contain the following input fields: full name (text) and date of birth (text field with input required in the form (DD/MM/YYYY), I want the contents of each text field to be checked on a blur event to ensure they are not empty.....
Suitable contents as well should be checked: full name text field contents starting with letter, contain at least on space and end with a letter
Characters 1,2,4,5,7,8,9,10 of the date of birth should be digits...
if contents are ok, should calculate the age of the person..
I wrote the code but not working....would you be kind and have a look for me ? :confused:

Many thanks!!:)

submitOK = false;

var year = document.getElementById("year").value;
