JavaScript

Please don't mark this as the duplicate. I found many answers to check if string is of type date without adding any jquery libraries.But Couldn't find anything.

JavaScript

function IsDate() { var date = "26.02.2016 11:48:36"  return Date.Parse(new Date("26.02.2016 11:48:36")); }

C#

The above code says the date is invalid but it is a valid date. Can any one please let me know how to check this kind of string value as date type in Jquery/Javascript?

What I have tried:

C#

Many Solutions suggested to use Date.Parse() method or use datejs external library. For the string "26.02.2016 11:48:36" but the Date.Parse() method returns "Nan" where as it had to say as valid date.

Solution 1

JavaScript Date.parse() accepts dates in RF 2822[^] or https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime format - your string is none of them...

Hello there!

Few things you should mind:
> Date.Parse is not a valid javascript function instead of use Date.parse and this return no. of millseconds between 1/1/1970 and to specified date.

> Javascript doesn't support dd/mm/yyyy format. So, your code might return Invalid date. So, use mm/dd/yyyy format instead of that.

JavaScript

var date = "02.26.2016 11:48:36"  

	if(!isNaN(Date.parse(date)))
	{
		document.write("Valid Date \n");
	}

Date.parse("any string that constians a number 5") will give you a number

Hello,

I don't think Date.parse is correct to use. As referred from this link, The Date.parse() method parses a string representation of a date, and returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC or NaN if the string is unrecognized or, in some cases, contains illegal date values (e.g. 2015-02-31).

Rather, I would suggest you use moment.js. This library would help you to parse the Date more efficiently.

Thanks
