title: Jquery dd/MM/yyyy date format validation
body: <p>I using default ASP.NET MVC 4 validation bundle in my application. In view I have a date field in the format of "dd/MM/yyyy" and jquery validation failed to validate the format. Then I added the below code to override the default behavior.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(function () {
          $.validator.methods.date = function (value, element) {
              Globalize.culture("en-GB");
              // you can alternatively pass the culture to parseDate instead of
              // setting the culture above, like so:
             // parseDate(value, null, "en-AU")
              return this.optional(element) || Globalize.parseDate(value) !== null;
          }
      });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then the date validation issue was resolved, and now my application does not fire client side validation but the server side validation. what could be the reason for this behavior?</p>
