Answer 1

If you want a reusable function, you might extend Emily and lonesomeday's answers to allow an argument to be provided:

$.validator.addMethod('daterange', function(value, element, arg) {
     // Same as above

     var startDate = Date.parse(arg[0]),
         endDate = Date.parse(arg[1]),
         enteredDate = Date.parse(value);       
     // Same as below

 }, $.validator.format("Please specify a date between {0} and {1}."))

See the source of the jQuery validation range method for an example.
