Problem with date format validation

Post by dumlee »

Following Validation is working for dd/mm/yyyy date format
Please suggest me the case with same code where I can make it mm/dd/yyyy format.


Validation.addAllThese([

['validate-digits', 'Please use numbers only in this field. please avoid spaces or other characters such as dots or commas.', function(v) {
return Validation.get('IsEmpty').test(v) || !/[^\d]/.test(v);
}],
['validate-date', 'Please enter a valid date.', function(v) {

var test = new Date(v);
return Validation.get('IsEmpty').test(v) || !isNaN(test);
}],
['validate-email', 'Please enter a valid email address. For example fred@domain.com .', function (v) {
return Validation.get('IsEmpty').test(v) || /\w{1,}[@][\w\-]{1,}([.]([\w\-]{1,})){1,3}$/.test(v)
}],
['validate-url', 'Please enter a valid URL.', function (v) {
return Validation.get('IsEmpty').test(v) || /^(http|https|ftp):\/\/(([A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)(\.[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9_-]*)+)(:(\d+))?\/?/i.test(v)
}],
['validate-date-au', 'Please use this date format: dd/mm/yyyy. For example 17/03/2006 for the 17th of March, 2006.', function(v) {
if(Validation.get('IsEmpty').test(v)) return true;
var regex = /^(\d{2})\/(\d{2})\/(\d{4})$/;
if(!regex.test(v)) return false;
var d = new Date(v.replace(regex, '$2/$1/$3'));
return ( parseInt(RegExp.$2, 10) == (1+d.getMonth()) ) &&
(parseInt(RegExp.$1, 10) == d.getDate()) &&
(parseInt(RegExp.$3, 10) == d.getFullYear() );
}]

]);
