This is an implementation topic, it's not really on-topic for User Experience. A variety on this question has been asked and answered on StackOverflow here: Is there a string format of Date that works in all browsers and all localities? – JonW Feb 25 '13 at 10:28

This is a very important question. We have a crusty in house javascript Date calendar widget and would like to replace it with an open library for non-HTML5 browsers. – Chad Brewbaker Aug 18 '13 at 15:08

If you are talking about input field types then for old IE just use type="text".
Date field. In Chrome it allows you to select a date using inbuilt calendar. Alternative for inbuilt calendar is jQuery datepicker
Email field in Chrome has inbuilt validation, use jQuery for email validation.
