Validate whether one date entered is before another

[ventura]

i have a textfield that accepts dates only in mm/dd/yyyy format.

how can i check that a date that someone entered is before 11/24/2000.

play around with this...
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var date1 = new Date("11/23/2000");
var date2 = new Date("11/24/2000");
date1 = date1.getTime();
date2 = date2.getTime();
alert("date1 comes before date2: " + (date1<date2));
//-->
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var date1 = new Date("11/23/2000");
var date2 = new Date("11/24/2000");

alert(date1.getDate + " comes before " + date2.getDate + (date1<date2));
//-->
</script>
