Date input field DD/MM/YYYY with input type text
<p>I am trying to make a date input but without using the <strong>date-format</strong> option of HTML5. </p>

<p> So let's say that my input is </p>

<pre><code>&lt;input type="text" id="dateField" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Allowed characters only numbers and '<code>/</code>'
</p>Is there any way to make this field accept only numbers and '<code>/</code>' (Without using the input <code>type="date"</code>)
<p> <strong>UPDATE</strong> The purpose is not to use HTML5.</p>
