Date Validation not working in Chrome

[TheJudge454]

In Chrome Version 25.0.1364.97 the date validation is not passing when a date is entered as mm/dd/yyyy and only passes for yyyy-mm-dd. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

Thanks for your consideration!

The current W3C Working Draft for the type=date input specifies that the date value should follow the RFC 3339 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.date.html#input.date.attrs.value). Chrome supports the date input type so it validates against that specification.

Chrome automatically creates a UI that lets you enter a date in the more familiar mm/dd/yyyy format.

After the core validation functionality of the widget is completed I will look into adding formatters for certain data types to be able to manipulate the input value.
