Hi I'm trying to create a regular expression for my date field.

The date format is MM/DD/YYYY.

My current regular expression code is as follows

var RE_DATE = /^[0-12]{2}[/][0-31]{2}[/][2010-2020]{4}$/;

which is wrong but well... I tried. :P

May I know how to get my regular expression to check for dates and months with a 0 in front of them?
