someone posted this a while back .. I played with it a bit
it may help you
its also clientside so you save a server call
re = new RegExp("^(0?[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])[/.-](0?[1-9]|1[0-2])[/.-](1)?[0-9]{4}$", "gi");
it checks for syntactically valid eurodates
this means it wont catch 31/02/2000
but it will catch 02/31/2000
have fun
