I am modifying an existing project, where I want to validate the start date(From) and end date(To) using jquery. The requirement is that End date(To) cannot be less than the Start date(from). Below is my html code and I add the jquery code I’ve written. But the date is not validated and it doesn’t display any error message. Once I click the submit button it submit successfully without any error. I really appreciate if some one can help me to resolve this. Thanks in advance.
==============html code===========
<div class="form-group">
<label for="" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Valid From<span class="star"> * </span></label>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control datepicker" name="valid_from[]" id="valid_from" required="required">
</div>
<label for="" class="col-sm-2 control-label"> To <span class="star"> * </span></label>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control datepicker" name="valid_to[]" id="valid_to" required="required">
</div>
</div>
======================jquery validation==================
var validator = $( "#add_cetificate").validate({
rules: {
valid_to[]: {
greaterThan: "#valid_from"
},
}
});
$.validator.addMethod('greaterThan', function(value, element) {
var dateFrom = $("#valid_from").val();
var dateTo = $('#valid_to').val();
return Date.parse(dateTo) > Date.parse(dateFrom);
});
And also there is a jquery part for date as follows
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
format: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
autoclose: true
});
