title: jquery date validation client side
body: <p>I am using jquery datepicker and I want to validate if date is valid or not in the format </p>
  
  <pre><code>04/15/2014
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>User is also allowed to enter date manually. For that I am trying validation, I tried by splitting string by slashes and checking all three values, is there any simpler way.</p>
