Checking For Non-Existent Dates in Javascript
I needed a quick way to verify that the date the user was entering into an input box was a valid date in a calendar (not 14/50/2013). I created the following function to do so. It only works with mm/dd/yyyy and yyyy-mm-dd but it's easy enough to extend for others.
function isValidDate(date){
var year = 0;
var month = 0;
var day = 0;
var match = date.match(/(\d{2})\/(\d{2})\/(\d{4})/);
if(match != null){
month = match[1];
day = match[2];
year = match[3];
}
var match = date.match(/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/);
if(match != null){
year = match[1];
month = match[2];
day = match[3];
}
month -= 1;
var testDate= new Date(year,month,day,0,0,0,0);
if (testDate.getFullYear() != year){
return false;
}
if(testDate.getMonth() != month){
return false;
}
if(testDate.getDate() != day){
return false;
}
return true;
}
