Jquery validation throws an error with UK time format #72

Closed padders closed 8 years ago

Hi,

I hope I'm not doing something stupid here!

I've set the format of all my datepickers to 'dd/mm/yyyy' and then set the format of the datepair to the config below

$('#dateAndTime .date').datepicker({ format: 'dd/mm/yyyy', autoclose: true });

Now when I put in a date such as 16/03/2016 where the day is higher than 12 (as there are only 12 months) I get a 'Please enter a valid date' error.

I'm assuming JQuery is trying to validate the date using the US format of mm/dd/yyyy but I can't for the life of me figure out how to change that, or even if it's possible.

Note that the validation works fine when all the datepickers and datepair are set to 'mm/dd/yyyy'. Unfortunately living in the UK the client isn't happy with that.

Datepair doesn't try to parse dates itself - it relies on the parseDate option, which defaults to asking the datepicker plugin for the date. If you post a jsFiddle or some other working example I might be able to help, but this sounds like an issue with the datepicker and not datepair.

Hi Jon, yeah I came to that conclusion myself. I ended up updating the jquery date validation manually which seems to work fine. Thanks for the response :)
