Hi
use this javascript method to convert the input from textbox to a valid Date Object

JavaScript

bdate = GetDateObject (elt.value);

JavaScript

var GetDateObject = function ( dateString){
           
            var array = dateString.split('/');

            var day = parseInt(array[0]);
            var month = parseInt(array[1]);
            var year = parseInt(array[2]);
            var dateObject = new Date(year, month - 1, day);
            return dateObject;
             }
