Compare two date formats in javascript/jquery

Question

I have the following :

var fit_start_time  = $(\"#fit_start_time\").val(); //2013-09-5
var fit_end_time    = $(\"#fit_end_time\").val(); //2013-09-10

if(Da         


        

Answer 1

Try it the other way:

var start_date  = $("#fit_start_time").val(); //05-09-2013
var end_date    = $("#fit_end_time").val(); //10-09-2013
var format='dd-MM-y';
    var result= compareDates(start_date,format,end_date,format);
    if(result==1)/// end date is less than start date
    {
            alert('End date should be greater than Start date');
    }



OR:
if(new Date(start_date) >= new Date(end_date))
{
    alert('End date should be greater than Start date');
}
