jquery datepicker: validate date

Question

i have set a jquery class:

$(function() {
            $( \".datepickerIT\" ).datepicker({
                showOtherMonths: true,
                selectOtherM         


        

Answer 1

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()
