JQuery Datepicker Will not post with UK date string

Question

Apologies for if the question is obvious but I can\'t figure out why it is suddenly not working. I have a jquery datepicker that has been working fine as long as I can remem

Answer 1

a google search gave a lot of results relating to localizing/globalizing asp.net mvc 3 validation.

this article in particular might be on to something:

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/GlobalizationInternationalizationAndLocalizationInASPNETMVC3JavaScriptAndJQueryPart1.aspx

scroll down to: "Globalized jQuery Unobtrusive Validation"

the answer to this question might help as well: Localizing jquery validation with asp.net mvc 3

jQuery allows you to override the different validation functions like so:

 $.validator.methods.number = function (value, element) {
     return !isNaN($.parseFloat(value));
 }

you could do something like this for the date validator, and run it against a regEx for a valid UK date.

Answer 2

You can use the dateFormat, so in your javascript file (after the page is loaded etc.) you can place:

$('.datepicker').datepicker({dateFormat:'yy-mm-dd'});

Answer 3

Try using altFormat instead!

altFormat: "dd/mm/yy",      

That works for me : )
