Date validation error in

[Javiergc]

Hi, I think I found the next issues with 1.11.0 version:

• In Firefox 18 are valid dates: with four digits ('3333') and '40/50/2000'
• In Chrome 24 are not valid dates: '22', '2222222' (seven digits or more)... but '11', '222', '2222' are taken as valid...
• In Explorer 9 is valid the date: '40/50/2000' but correctly taken as not valid the others.

I tried with version 1.10 and older JQuery.

Code:

<title>InformaticaPC | Validar formularios con JQuery</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="../lib/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.validate.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function()
    {

        $('#form1').validate({
            rules: {
                'txtFNac': { required:true, date:true }
                },
            messages: {
                'txtFNac': { required:'Write the date', date:'not valid' }
            }

        });

    });

</script>

  <div id="log">&nbsp;</div>

  <form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="#">

      <label for="txtFNac">F/nac (*):</label>
      <input type="text" name="txtFNac" id="txtFNac" /><br />

      <input type="submit" name="btnEnviar" id="btnEnviar" value="Enviar &gt;&gt;" />

  </form>

Maybe there's something wrong ?

jquery.validation.js relies on "new Date(value)" to validate dates. But for IE 9,e.g., new Date('15/45/2333') actually returns a date successfully. So the result of validation becomes bugus.

The date method is broken and shouldn't be used anymore. There are a few alternatives like dateISO and country specific methods. Eventually this will be adressed by #581, but I don't see any shortterm fix for the current date method.

I also made a note about that on the docs for that method: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Methods/date
