I have a validate method which seems pretty simple because I use something very similar when using the format mm/dd/yy
, but when I use mm/y
...I keep getting an invalid date.
Here is my validation:
function validateDate(dateField) {
try{
$.datepicker.parseDate('mm/y', dateField, null);
}
catch(error){
alert(error);
}
}
If I pass in a date like 05/11
...this logic complains that the date is invalid. If I change the format to mm/dd/yy
and enter 05/11/2011
...then it says it is valid.
Am I missing something when trying to validate a mm/y
pattern?
