Hi,
Assuming the date format is in 31-Feb-2006
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function t()
{
mill=new Date(2006, 01, 31) ;
alert(mill.getMonth()+1);
alert(mill.getDate());
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="t()"></body>
By right 31-Feb is an invalid date,
How do I go about showing an error?
I thought of using:
mill = new Date(2006, 01, 31) ;
if(mill==false)
{
alert("Invalid Date");
}
But this doesnt work.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks

I think it is generally accepted that two of the three date components
should be checked - say date and month, though month and year would
probably be better there may be a need to avoid getFullYear.

Yes, when D is unbounded.
- say date and month, though month and year would
probably be better there may be a need to avoid getFullYear.
The test would be quicker if done in UTC, since both new Date(Y, M, D)
and getMonth() require contemplation of the season.
Even getUTCDate() requires a complex calculation, though that should be
programmed in a fast language.
So how about
function test(y,m,d){
return d>0 && d<32 && new Date(y,m-1,d).getMonth() == m-1;
};
where the d tests may be faster than .getDate()==d ? Then it might be
better to test m similarly, so that the complex part is only needed for
Dates whose validity depends on Month.

var months = [31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31];
function test(y,m,d) {

Around 6-7x times faster in IE, and 70x faster in FF.
I'll take speed over brevity any day.
;-)
(There may be fringe cases not handled correctly by my example (such as
y=-1), but it could probably be expanded slightly and still retain the huge
speed increase by not creating a new Date object).

My point is that only d>364 or d<-364 can give an error in
new Date(y,m-1,d).getMonth()==m-1.
var months = [31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31];
function test(y,m,d) {
return y>0 && m>0 && m<=12 && (d<=months[m-1] || (m==2 && d==29 &&
((y%4==0
&& y%100!=0) || (y%400==0)) ) );
};
(y%400==0)
y%400==0

That depends on the use.
This function will be used usually in user input validation,
where timing is not important, and repetitive calling is absent.
(There may be fringe cases not handled correctly by my example (such
as y=-1),
you have y>0 !
but it could probably be expanded slightly and still retain
the huge speed increase by not creating a new Date object).

But test(2000, 1, -335) -true.
If there is a test on d, it should be d<32 since that uses fewer
characters, is faster for days 32 and up, ** and needs less thought **.

Then why test for m==2 ? Only for February can d fail the array test
and be 29. That test costs both speed and brevity.
With a comma after the first bracket, a subtraction is saved.
The "Julian" test *may* be faster as !(Y&3).
>(There may be fringe cases not handled correctly by my example (such as

We generally presume that dates should be yyyy-mm-dd or variants,
implying Y>=0. But you omitted to test d>0.
but it could probably be expanded slightly and still retain the huge
speed increase by not creating a new Date object).
OTOH, often a Date Object will be wanted.
Remember, if a Date Object is used for pure-date work, replace
new Date(Y, M, D) with new Date(Date.UTC(Y, M, D))
and use UTC methods for a considerable speed gain at least in IE4.
Thought : Given D, both getMonth and getDate require determination of
whether the date is in Summer Time. Is any browser intelligent enough
to cache the state of Summer Time (which could be detected by speed
tests) ? getMilliseconds and getSeconds do NOT need the Summer State,
and getMinutes only rarely does - do browsers use that?
