I want to add new validation method to jquery validation that validates date in dd/mm/yyyy format ex(28/01/2015)

I tried :

$.validator.addMethod("dateFormat",function(value, element) {
    return value.match(/^(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-](0?[1-9]|1[012]) [\/\-]\d{4}$/);
 });

which is not working as expected.. any better way of doing it?

  • **What exactly does *"not working as expected"* mean?** No validation? Validation is incorrect? Console errors? – Sparky Jan 23 '15 at 18:51

I'm sorry I can't provide a more personal answer, but there's already a lot on this. Does this link help?

Javascript - Regex to validate date format

Example from linked answer:

var dateReg = /^\d{2}([./-])\d{2}\1\d{4}$/

"22-03-1981".match(dateReg) // matches
"22.03-1981".match(dateReg) // does not match
"22.03.1981".match(dateReg) // matches

Another link that might help:
