Here's the first response i got when searching for "credit card expiration validation javascript" on Google.

Always makes me wonder why people post questions on StackOverflow before doing a search on the internet themselves.

Here's the function (if the link doesnt work):

function ValidateExpDate()

{

    var ccExpYear = 20 + $F('<%= txtCCExpirationYear.ClientID%>');

    var ccExpMonth = $F('<%= txtCCExpirationMonth.ClientID%>');



    var expDate=new Date();

    expDate.setFullYear(ccExpYear, ccExpMonth, 1);



    var today = new Date();



    if (expDate<today)

    {

        // Credit Card is expire

        return false;

    }

    else

    {

        // Credit is valid

        return true;

    }

}
