Question

I’m working with 2 dates that are posted back to me in a textbox as strings in this format 03/02/2010. One is the current completion date and the second is the final completion date. I need to compare these 2 dates to check if the final completion date ends up being ahead, behind or the same as the current completion date.

Is there a way I can do this using javascript or jquery?

Thanks for any help.

var passedDate1 = new Date('03/02/2010');
var passedDate2 = new Date('03/01/2010');

if (passedDate1 > passedDate2) {
   alert ('Date1 is greated than date 2');
}
else if (passedDate1 < passedDate2) {
   alert ('Date1 is less than date 2');
}
else {
   alert ('they are equal');
}
