Parsing Date values

Question

Right now my function is

    if(dateCheck("02.05.2013","17.09.2013","02.07.2013"))
    alert("Availed");
else
    alert("Not Availed");

function dateCheck(from,to,check) {

    var fDate,lDate,cDate;
    fDate = Date.parse(from);
    lDate = Date.parse(to);
    cDate = Date.parse(check);

    if((cDate <= lDate && cDate >= fDate)) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Always returning false, Getting dates in this format from the server side 02.09.2013 Please suggest right format for parsing these values?

use the `getTime()` method which returns the milliseconds in a Date. From there you can compare the milliseconds, higher milliseconds means more recent date — Laazo, Jan 09 '17 at 07:05

Looks like duplicate of Why does Date.parse give incorrect results?. Your date is not clear as 02.09. might be the second of September or the 9th of Feb. See the referenced post for details.

You should parse your date to date object in javascript. This link can give you an idea of date constructor in javascript.It has a constructor new Date(year,month,date). so parse your dateString in that format. follow the code

if(dateCheck("02.05.2013","02.09.2013","02.07.2013"))
        alert("Availed");
    else
        alert("Not Availed");
    
    function dateCheck(from,to,check) {
    
        var fDate,lDate,cDate;
        fDate = new Date(from.split(".")[2],from.split(".")[1],from.split(".")[0]);
        
        lDate = new Date(to.split(".")[2],to.split(".")[1],to.split(".")[0]);
        cDate = new Date(check.split(".")[2],check.split(".")[1],check.split(".")[0]);
     
    
    
        if((cDate<= lDate) && (cDate >= fDate)) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

if(dateCheck("02/05/2013","02/09/2013","02/06/2013"))
    alert("Availed");
else
    alert("Not Availed");

function dateCheck(from,to,check) {

    var fDate,lDate,cDate;

    fDate = convertDate(from);
    lDate = convertDate(to);
    cDate = convertDate(check);

    if((cDate <= lDate && cDate >= fDate)) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}


function convertDate(dateStr) {
    var parts = dateStr.split("/");
    return new Date(parts[2], parts[0], parts[1] - 1);
}
