jQuery Validation to Restrict A Textbox to only dd/mm/yyyy

Question

Is there a jQuery method or workaround that someone has found that will not let the user type anything but dd/mm/yyyy in a textbox ?

Thanks

A masked control will prevent anything but valid input from being entered: http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/

Or you could try jquery validation, it is one of the most popular validation frameworks: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
