  1. I recently had a customer who asked for a letter that used an alternate salutation if the member was under 18.

     

    ie.

    Dear Parent or Gaurdian of John Smith, (if under 18)

    or

    Dear John Smith, (if over 18)

     

    I came up with the following and it seems to work well so I thought I'd share it with anyone who might need something similar.

     

    The fuction that calculates the age based on a date uses the format MM/DD/YYYY for the provided birthday.

     

    function getAge(birth) {
    var today = new Date();
    var curr_date = today.getDate();
    var curr_month = today.getMonth() + 1;
    var curr_year = today.getFullYear();
    
    var pieces = birth.split('/');
    var birth_date = pieces[1];
    var birth_month = pieces[0];
    var birth_year = pieces[2];
    
    if (curr_month == birth_month && curr_date >= birth_date) return parseInt(curr_year-birth_year);
    if (curr_month == birth_month && curr_date < birth_date) return parseInt(curr_year-birth_year-1);
    if (curr_month > birth_month) return parseInt(curr_year-birth_year);
    if (curr_month < birth_month) return parseInt(curr_year-birth_year-1);
    }
    var age = getAge(Field("Birthday"));
    return (age < 18) ? "Dear Parent or Guardian of " + Field("Name") + "," : "Dear " + Field("Name") + ",";
