How can I set a max date (of the current date) using Jquery Validation?
$('#form').validate({
rules: {
reportDate: {
date: true
//Max date rule of current date...
}
}
});
You can add a validation method to set max date as current date using addMethod as this
$.validator.addMethod(maxDate, function(value, element) {
var curDate = new Date();
var inputDate = new Date(value);
if (inputDate < curDate)
return true;
return false;
}, Invalid Date!); // error message
and then add this method to the rules to set validation
$(#frm).validate({
rules: {
reportDate: {
required: true,
date: true,
maxDate: true
}
}
});
Note: the date '12/03/2013' is interpreted as this 'mm/dd/yyyy',
so 12/03/2013 > 06/26/2013 (today's date) and hence Invalid.
