Script
Calculating Age
// The first field specified is the one on which the Javascript field shall depend on.
var inputDate = $("#CustomField_6040").val();
var today = new Date();
// This line controls the formatting of the data output in the JavaScript Field
var birthDate = new Date(inputDate.split('/')[2],inputDate.split('/')[1]-1,inputDate.split('/')[0]);
// The script below pull out the clients date of birth and the current date in order to calculate their age.
var age = today.getFullYear() - birthDate.getFullYear();
var m = today.getMonth() - birthDate.getMonth();
if (m < 0 || (m === 0 && today.getDate() < birthDate.getDate()))
{
age--;
}
// This is the ID of the new JavaScript field
$("#CustomField_6039").html(age);

New age calculated from changed Date of Birth
We can see the JavaScript field in action if the date of birth is changed. The age will be automatically updated to reflect the new date of birth
