You may want to read <http://usejsdoc.org/>.

There is no need to pre-decrement b[1] because you are not reusing the
value. “b[1] - 1” is more obvious, maybe even more efficient, than --b[1].

Apparently you have missed the much simpler solution suggested by Christoph
on 2014-11-13 and the subthread that followed:
<news:m42f3g$d4d$1@solani.org> pp.
I prefer that over this, with perhaps the exception of the parsing (this
one’s is more flexible). However, in my opinion the condition that causes
the parsing to be required should be eliminated in advance: There should be
three separate controls for a date that are reduced to one when a
type="date" control is supported, and then not its “value” property but its
“valueAsDate” or ”valueAsNumber” property should be used.
