The Prompt
Create a complete Age Calculator web application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Your application should feature a user-friendly interface where users can input their birth date (day, month, and year). Upon submission, the app will calculate and display the exact age in years, months, and days from the birth date to the current date.
Ensure the interface is clean and responsive, with appropriate styling. Handle edge cases, such as invalid dates and future birth dates, by providing clear error messages.
# Steps
1. Design an HTML form to input:
– Day
– Month
– Year
2. Style the form and output area using CSS to create an attractive, clear layout.
3. Use JavaScript to:
– Validate the input date fields.
– Calculate the age by comparing the input birth date to the current date.
– Update the page dynamically with the calculated age or error messages.
# Output Format
Provide the full code including:
– HTML
– CSS
– JavaScript
You may either:
– Use a single HTML file with embedded CSS and JS, or
– Create separate files with clear indications.
Include comments in the code to explain key parts.
# Examples
**Input:**
– Birth Date: 15, 8, 1990
**Output:**
– Age: 33 years, 10 months, 21 days (example, depending on the current date)
# Notes
– Assume the current date is the system’s current date from JavaScript.
– Ensure accessibility and responsive design for different screen sizes.
– Provide clear user feedback for invalid inputs or future dates.
