Answer 1

You can validate your datepicker like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#datepicker").datepicker();
    $("#datepicker").blur(function(){
        val = $(this).val();
        val1 = Date.parse(val);
        if (isNaN(val1) == true && val !== ''){
           alert("error");
        }
        else{
           console.log(val1);
        }
    });
});
