Using jquery validation, how do I validate a Date of Birth with 3 different select boxes?
I have a signup form that I am validating using jquery, and I am trying to validate a Date of Birth that is spread across 3 different select boxes.
You can see this form at
http://www.rewardsring.com/sandbox/signup2V.html
My current approach is to create a hidden field next to the three select boxes and validate that instead (with the associated code necessary to build the value of that field).
I then wrote my own validation method (properDate) to make sure that dates like September 31st aren't permitted.
I also want the three select boxes to appear red if there is a problem with the date.
Unforunately, it doesn't seem to work at all, and I have no idea how to fix it, so any help is appreciated. (For example, Feb-31-1984 seems to be a valid date!?!?!)

I guess the question s/b how to extend jQuery validation plugin to date selection drop down list box.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it needs to be extended. I'm new to jquery, and I was wondering if it was possible, using the jquery validation plugin, to validate a date that uses 3 select boxes.
If not, then I suppose I can change it to an input box.

my question was perhaps more vague than it needed to be

For the second solution, it would work, but it does require a large amount of extra code. Also, it wouldn't solve my problem of validating 3 select boxes as a group using jquery.
Thanks for the input though
