how to check if from - to input fields for dates is correct using javascript

Question

i need to check if the user has inputted the correct from - to values for date on my form

for example: (dd/mm/yyyy)

WRONG:

From: 20/12/2012 - To: 11/12/2012

CORRECT:

From: 20/12/2012 - To: 30/12/2012

i need to check the values from the "from" and "to" input fields, so that i can pass the the value to my ajax script, is there anyway to achieve this result using javascript?

IF the dates are properly formatted

var BegDT = new Date(st1);
var EndDT = new Date(st2);

You can now subtract BegDT from EndDt and give an error if you don't get a positive number
