<div>
why dont you have 3 fields with 2 characters in each<br />
<br />
[DD] / [MM] / [YY]<br />
<br />
alternatively you could draw a back ground image with the / &nbsp;/ &nbsp;drawn on it and apply it to your field and limit it to 6 characters in length....<br />
<br />
[ &nbsp; &nbsp; / &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;/ &nbsp; &nbsp; ]
