Have a text input box.
Would like the user to enter a string in the exact format:
2010/08/26 17:04:51.24
(with any numbers of course)
How can I do this efficiently?
Not looking for the answer, just a point in the right direction.
Thank You.

Regular expressions would be the most obvious solution. That being said, you probably don’t want to go through the trouble of implementing a regular expression for matching dates and times when you can instead use an already existing solution.
DateJs is a really great JavaScript date parser that handles converting user-entered dates and times into meaningful values. DateJs can intelligently parse natural language expressions like “tomorrow” or “+5 days” and also standard date and time representations like “10/24/2008 11:31:04 AM”.
