How to validate date input in 3 fields?

问题

I have 3 fields for date input:

<input type="text" id="passport-doi-1" name="passport-doi-1" placeholder="DD" maxlength="2">
<input type="text" id="passport-doi-2" name="passport-doi-2" placeholder="MM" maxlength="2">
<input type="text" id="passport-doi-3" name="passport-doi-3" placeholder="YYYY" maxlength="4">

How should I validate with jQuery Validate plugin that if date is input, then this is correct?

Looks like I should create groups of fields (to have only one error message) and then custom validation rule. But how it should look like?

Upd. I've tried to do the following, but it doesn't work:

$.validator.addMethod('validDate', function (value, element) {
  var dd = $("#passport-doi-dd").val();
  var mm = $("#passport-doi-mm").val();
  var yyyy = $("#passport-doi-yyyy").val();
  if (dd=="" && mm=="" && yyyy=="") return true;
  try {
    var date = new Date(yyyy,mm-1,dd,0,0,0,0);
    return mm===(date.getMonth()+1) && dd===date.getDate() && yyyy===date.getFullYear();
  }
  catch(er) {
    return false;
  }
}, 'Please use format DD MM YYYY.');

  ...
  rules: {
    "passport-doi-dd": {
      required: false,
      validDate: true,
      range: [1, 31]
    }, 
    "passport-doi-mm": {
      required: false,
      validDate: true,
      range: [1, 12]
    }, 
    "passport-doi-yyyy": {
      required: false,
      validDate: true,
      range: [1990, 2012]
    }
  },
  messages: {
    "passport-doi-dd": "Please use format DD MM YYYY.",
    "passport-doi-mm": "Please use format DD MM YYYY.",
    "passport-doi-yyyy": "Please use format DD MM YYYY."
  }

You are on the right track-- You need to pass the Date constructor numbers instead of strings (val will return strings). You can also leverage the params argument to your custom rule to make it a bit more extensible (not specific to three fields with specific ids):

$.validator.addMethod("multidate", function (value, element, params) {
  var daySelector = params[0]
      , monthSelector = params[1]
      , yearSelector = params[2]
      , day = parseInt($(daySelector).val(), 10)
      , month = parseInt($(monthSelector).val(), 10)
      , year = parseInt($(yearSelector).val(), 10)
      , date = new Date(year, month, day);

  return (!$(daySelector).val() && !$(monthSelector).val() && !$(yearSelector).val()) || 
    !isNaN(date.getTime());

});


$(document).ready(function () {
  var dateFields = ["#passport-doi-1", "#passport-doi-2", "#passport-doi-3"];
  $("#dateform").validate({
    errorLabelContainer: "#errors",
    groups: {
      date: dateFields.join("")
    },
    rules: {
      "passport-doi-1": {
        multidate: dateFields
      },
      "passport-doi-2": {
        multidate: dateFields
      },
      "passport-doi-3": {
        multidate: dateFields
      }
    },
    messages: {
      "passport-doi-1": {
        multidate: "Please enter a valid date"
      },
      "passport-doi-2": {
        multidate: "Please enter a valid date"
      },
      "passport-doi-3": {
        multidate: "Please enter a valid date"
      }
    }
  });
});

I think the group option is only for grouping error messages (so you still have to define validation rules for each input).
