JQuery Validation For Date Field

I'm encountering a problem in validating input fields, I have three input fields, one for first name, last name, and date of birth, when I leave the fields empty it shows warning messages as defined in the code, when I enter data into the fields the message disappears except for the date field. It disappears only when I click once again. Here is my code

As your code is currently structured, the focusout and blur events will both be triggered before the value of $('#date-of-birth') has been set. It will not run again after the value is set unless you enter and leave the field again.

Instead of calling your validate_date_of_birth() on focusout or blur, consider adding an onClose function to your datepicker definition with your validate logic. This way it will not run the validation until the datepicker has closed and a value has been assigned.

i.e., 

$(function() {
    $("#date-of-birth").datepicker({
        dateFormat:'dd-mm-yy',
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        onClose: function(selectedDate){
            var date_of_birth=selectedDate;
            if(date_of_birth.length==''){
                $('#dob-warning-message').show();
                $('#dob-warning-message').html("Please Enter Your Date Of Birth !");
                dob_error=false;
                return false;
            }
            else{
                $('#dob-warning-message').hide();
            }
        }
    }); 
});

See this question for an example of how onClose works, or the jQuery documentation.
