Comparision of date using javascript

[Sapan Shah]

I want to compare two dates using javascript.
First date is present date and another date is that which i will enter in the text field in the format of dd-mm-yyyy.
There will be only one textfield in which i will enter the date and that value will be compare with present date.

Kindly guide me as i am new to javascript.

Basic idea:

var enteredDateStr = document.getElementById("textboxId").value.split(/\s?-\s?/);
var d = new Date( enteredDateStr [1] + "/" + enteredDateStr [0] + "/" + enteredDateStr [2] );
alert(d>new Date())

that solves half the problem.

here is a comparison code i found via google:

var days = 0;
var difference = 0;
Christmas = new Date("December 25, 2005");
today = new Date();
difference = Christmas - today;
days = Math.round(difference/(1000*60*60*24));

now the mystery lies in making this code work for you too
