lol - know how ya feel. just keep digging.. just how this stuff is (most of the time) 
date = date.text
for starters:
8 + 2 slashes = 10 so you can do:
Code:
if (date.text.length == 10){
// date length is valid
// do some indexOf("/") checks
// while were at it we might want to check to see if values are numeric
}
else{
// can check if it's too short too long whatever.. or just not valid
}
Code:
you can also use :
If (date.text.indexOf("/") != 3) {
// missing slash in 3rd spot of string
}
indexOf() returns the character "number" where the value in parentheses is first found in a string. or in this case _ _ / = 3
you can also use lastIndexOf() to return the positon of the 2nd slash ..
you could have all this in a function called
valitateDate(){
//check the date string
// If good submit form
}
your submit button could be
on (release) {
valitateDate();
}
hope this helps..
