How to validate for existed date with javascript/jQuery

Question

Currently I had problem to validate date of the forms page.

I use date picker form input.

But when user sets date manually (input by keyboard), that date picker still allows wrong dates such as 2016-02-31 (which not existed). Date picker never complains about that.

So how can I validate a date(string) with jQuery or javascript?

this solution solved my problem. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8098202/javascript-detecting-valid-dates — Irfandi Achmad, May 31 '16 at 06:20

2016-02-31 is handled as 2016-03-02, so you just have to compare, whether the date string is equal to the input.

it's too manual, i think there is better way to validate date. – Irfandi Achmad May 31 '16 at 06:05
