Bug in Chrome, Safari validate date.

[tarascv]

Failing for a valid date in Chrome/Safari, but passing in Firefox, IE etc.
Chrome/Safari seems to ignore the current locale when it creates the date object, so a valid date in UK dd/mm/yy format – 28/11/2010 – fails as Chrome seems to interpret it in US mm/dd/yy format.

I've also hit upon this Chrome deviance - be great if the docs could be updated to reflect the issue: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Methods/date

I've also come across this issue with UK date validation. If you have a look at this blog post it mentions the simple fix for this.

Looking forward to a new version with the fix.

Thanks

I have encountered this problem as well in Safari (not in Chrome though). Any ideas on when this will be fixed?

stevephillips my hero! Was having this trouble in Safari and thanks to you I can move on to better things. Had to fix in v1.9, FYI.

I'm seeing this too in Chrome and Safari when using UK dates, would be great to see it fixed!

I'm still seeing this in Chrome, would be great to have it fixed or at least a warning in the documentation

I'm stilling see this error in Safari for iOS.

Bump..? Getting hit by this as well for AU date formats (same as the en-gb).

The date method is terrible, since the built-in Date object is terrible. I don't see an alternative to dropping that method, replacing it with Globalize, see #581.
