Ah, yes, many thanks, that did the trick!

Nevertheless, the validator does not check if someone enters a string that is 
too long, e.g. someone can enter "19.02.1999892839", whereas the trailing 
characters are truncated. Is there a way to prevent this, for instance by 
throwing an error? Or is there any reason for this?

Best Regards,
Hermann
