title: How to validate a date is in the format yyyy-MM-dd using kendo validator?
body: <p>I have a kendo date picker that is constructed as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#date").kendoDatePicker({
      format: "yyyy-MM-dd",
      footer: " ",
      parseFormats: ["MM/dd/yyyy", "dd/MM/yyyy"]
    });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to use the kendo validator to validate that the date contains a valid date in the format of yyyy-MM-dd. I have tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="date" id="date" placeholder="yyyy-mm-dd" name="date" required data-required-msg="Please enter a date." data-date-msg="Please enter a valid date."/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>While the validator does correctly validate the "required" condition, it does not seem to validate that the date is in the correct format or is a valid date. For instance, "abc" passes as a valid date as does 2013-18-85. How can I use the validator to ensure a valid date in the correct format?</p>
