element.valueAsDate
This property is designed to solve your locale woes, and it is also an
easy way to feature-detect a browser's native support for the date input
type. I haven't gone through all current browsers yet, so if you do use
this method, make sure to check that none of your browsers support the
property without implementing a date picker.
.valueAsDate, as you might have guessed, returns the input's value as a
Date object. Here's a super-simple feature detect:
if ( !myElement.valueAsDate ) {
// Implement my JavaScript datepicker
}
You can also simply test if the "type" of your input is reported as
"date". Older browsers that don't implement the new HTML5 types simply
fall back to changing them - in the DOM itself - to type="text"
if (!myElement.type === "text") {
// fallback
}
