The challenge

Users should be able to:

• View an age in years, months, and days after submitting a valid date through the form
• Receive validation errors if:
  • Any field is empty when the form is submitted
  • The day number is not between 1-31
  • The month number is not between 1-12
  • The year is in the future
  • The date is invalid e.g. 31/04/1991 (there are 30 days in April)
• View the optimal layout for the interface depending on their device's screen size
• See hover and focus states for all interactive elements on the page
• Bonus: See the age numbers animate to their final number when the form is submitted

What I learned

In this project, I've gained knowledge about how to work with date by getting todays date, month and year i really love doing this challenge, because it was a litter bit harder than the once i have been doing.

<section>

      <h1><span class="year_output">- -</span> years</h1>
      <h1><span class="month_output">- -</span> months</h1>
      <h1><span class="day_output">- -</span> days</h1>

</section>

what i enjoyed most using SCSS is nesting

        &[type=number]::-webkit-inner-spin-button,&[type=number]::-webkit-outer-spin-button {
            -webkit-appearance: none;
        }

// get todays day, month and year

const date = new Date();
let day = date.getDate();
let month = 1 + date.getMonth();
let year = date.getFullYear();

Continued development

I'd like to deepen my understanding of using JavaScript to manipulate the DOM, improving my knowledge of JavaScript syntax for modifying the appearance and functionality of a webpage's frontend. Can you assist me in refining these skills?"
