Regular expressions are read to read, can't spot any obvious error
with that, especially considering that it fails only in Safari.
Here is a custom method for italian dates, not using regex, maybe it helps:
jQuery.validator.addMethod(
"dateITA",
function(value, element) {
var check = false;
var re = /^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/
if( re.test(value)){
var adata = value.split('/');
var gg = parseInt(adata[0],10);
var mm = parseInt(adata[1],10);
var aaaa = parseInt(adata[2],10);
var xdata = new Date(aaaa,mm-1,gg);
if ( ( xdata.getFullYear() == aaaa ) && (
xdata.getMonth () == mm -
1 ) && ( xdata.getDate() == gg ) )
check = true;
else
check = false;
} else
check = false;
return this.optional(element) || check;
},
"Please enter a correct date"
);
