How to check 2 date fields and compare to see which date is ahead, behind or the same

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

Answer 1

Convert it to US format

function dateUS(date)
{
    var date = date.split("/");
    return date[2] + '/' + date[1] + '/' + date[0];
}

and then

if(dateUS(dateCurrent) < dateUS(dateFinal))
{
  //your code
}
