the field date must be a date in mvc

JQuery bootstrap date picker function in jquery.validate.js shows message 'the field date must be a date'. Override the validate date function from jquery.validate.js

Create jquery.validate.date.js and ensure it is loaded after jquery.validate.js

Reference from this link.

Add the following code to jquery.validate.date.js

$(function() {
    $.validator.methods.date = function (value, element) {
        if ($.browser.webkit) {

            //ES - Chrome does not use the locale when new Date objects instantiated:
            var d = new Date();

            return this.optional(element) || !/Invalid|NaN/.test(new Date(d.toLocaleDateString(value)));
        }
        else {

            return this.optional(element) || !/Invalid|NaN/.test(new Date(value));
        }
    };

});
