I personally use the very good http   www datejs com  library   Docco here  http   code google com p datejs wiki APIDocumentation  You can use the following to get your Australian format and will validate the leap day 29 02 2012 and not 29 02 2011   jQuery validator addMethod  australianDate   function value  element         return Date parseExact value   d M yyyy             myForm   validate      rules           birth date     australianDate   true              I also use the masked input plugin to standardise the data http   digitalbush com projects masked-input-plugin       birth date   mask  99 99 9999

Here s a specific code sample which worked for me recently      Replace the builtin US date validation with UK date validation   validator addMethod       date       function   value  element             var bits   value match     0-9    gi    str          if     bits               return this optional element     false          str   bits  1           bits  0           bits  2            return this optional element       Invalid NaN  test new Date  str                 Please enter a date in the format dd mm yyyy       I should note that this actually replaces the built-in date validation routine  though I couldn t see that this should cause an issue with the current plugin   I then applied this to the form using        my form input date    rules   add     date  true

You can create your own custom validation method using the addMethod function  Say you wanted to validate  dd mm yyyy      validator addMethod       australianDate       function value  element               put your own logic here  this is just a  crappy  example         return value match    d d    d d    d d d d                 Please enter a date in the format dd mm yyyy        And then on your form add       myForm        validate           rules                 myDate                     australianDate   true
