Date/Time script on Record Producer

[booher04]

I put a script together in the script section of a record producer.  I have it working partially but can't seem to figure out what I'm missing.  I want my field(u_outage_start) to not be allowed to be in the future.  If it is, I want it to pop a message that says it can't be, and let the user correct the date on the portal page(record producer).  Right now, it works, gives me the message but it still submits the catalog item and creates the incident with the incorrect outage date/time. 

Here's the script:

var initialDate = new GlideDateTime(producer.u_outage_start).getDate(); 
var today = new GlideDateTime().getDate();
var diff = gs.dateDiff(today,initialDate, true);

if(diff > 0){

gs.addInfoMessage("Outage Start Date cannot be after today's date");

}

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDate');
ajax.getXML(doSomething);

function doSomething(response){
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
var date = newValue.split(' ');
if (date[0] > answer){
alert('Start date cannot be in the future');
g_form.clearValue('u_outage_start');
}
}
}

that looks fine.  How about the script include code?

On the script include is the client callable box checked?

[booher04]

Yep, it is.
