i have set a jquery class:
$(function() {
$( ".datepickerIT" ).datepicker({
showOtherMonths: true,
selectOtherMonths: true,
showAnim: "clip",
dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
minDate: "01/01/1925",
maxDate: "31/12/2050",
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
yearRange: "1925:2050",
regional: "it"
});
});
I want to add a date check control that alert if user input not is a valid date
How can add to the class ".datepickerIT" a check like this?
onClose: function(dateText, inst) {
try {
$.datepicker.parseDate('dd/mm/yy', dateText);
} catch (e) {
alert(e);
};
And what plugin i must include into head section?
Date.parse
is not recommend to use as there are still many differences in how different hosts parse date strings. [1][2]
I would use moment for date validation.
moment(newDate, 'DD/MM/YYYY', true).isValid()
