Hi Folks, Wondered if anyone could help on this, I've been stuck on it for quite some time.
I'm trying to validate a date field using a UK date, here's my code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#arrival-arrival-date').datepicker({ minDate: new Date
(),defaultDate: +1,dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',constrainInput: false });
$.validator.addMethod('ukdate', function(value,
element) {
var regex =
/^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/](0[1-9]|1[012])[\/]
((19|20)\d\d)$/;
console.log(value.match(regex));
return this.optional(element) || value.match(regex);
}, "Please specify a UK date");
// validate signup form on keyup and submit
$("#theForm").validate({
debug:true,
errorClass:
'redBorder',
rules: {
'arrival-arrival-date': {
ukdate: true},
'arrival-stay-duration': {
required: true,
min: 1}
},
highlight: function(element, errorClass) {
$(element).fadeOut(function() {
$(element).fadeIn()
})
},
messages: {
'arrival-arrival-date':'',
'arrival-stay-duration':''
},
highlight: function(element, errorClass) {
$(element).addClass(errorClass);
},
unhighlight: function(element, errorClass) {
$(element).removeClass(errorClass);
},
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
error.appendTo('errorNotes');
}
});
And you can see a demo of it in action at
http://dev.letsbookrooms.co.uk/uk/perthshire/parklandshotel/. It
works fine on IE, Opera and FF, fails in Safari for any dates where
the dd part is higher than 12.
I think it must be an issue with the validator plugin as I've tested
the regular expression on its own in Saari and it works fine.
Cheers
George
