How to detect date format defined by browser?

rated 0 times [ 27] [ 1] / answers: 1 / hits: 15085 / 11 Years ago, fri, may 31, 2013, 12:00:00

I'm using HTML5 input type=date field and because some browsers still don't support this feature, I would like to create error validation message for browsers that display just normal text field instead of date field. This error message should look like

Please enter date in format: ...

But I need to find the correct format, that the browser is set to. Is there any php/js/jQuery way how to find out this?

Thanks to @Jose Vega's answer I was able to find very easy way how to do it.

     var now=new Date(2013,11,31);

     var str=now.toLocaleDateString();

     str=str.replace(31,dd);

     str=str.replace(12,mm);

     str=str.replace(2013,yyyy);

Error message:

Please enter date in format: + str
