Note by: dwarth@gmail.com
As this element is a subclass of HTML_QuickForm_group you can't use the addRule() method with the "required" validation rule, you must use the addGroupRule() method.

example:

$options = array(
'language' => 'en',
'format' => 'Ymd',
'minYear' => 2007,
'maxYear' => date('Y') + 2,
'addEmptyOption' => true
);
$form->addElement('date', 'TheDate', 'Date', $options);

$form->addGroupRule('TheDate', 'enter a date', 'required');
