I cannot get the "End date" before "start date" client script to work.

[mandie]

This is my current code for a catalog client script:

function onSubmit()

{

//g_form.addInfoMessage("Before error");

var datefrom = g_form.getValue('u_it_email_ooo_datefrom');

var dateto = g_form.getValue('u_it_email_ooo_dateto');

if(datefrom > dateto)

{

g_form.clearMessages();

g_form.addErrorMessage("End date cannot occur before start date.");

return false;

}

}

It works fine when the end date is before the start date, but only when they are in the same month.

When I change the end date to a day in the month before the start date, it allows me submit. Can anyone help? This is quite urgent because i have a meeting with my manager to put this through to our live system today and cannot get it to work properly!! Please help!!!

This works for me on Service Portal

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

          return;

    }

g_form.hideFieldMsg('end_date', true);

var startDate = g_form.getValue('start_date');

if ( newValue < startDate){

g_form.showFieldMsg('end_date',"End date can't be prior to Start date ",'error');

}

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

}

Have you modified this script to account for users with a different date/time format?  Someone with a format of dd/MM/yyyy will receive the error message if the start/end dates span multiple months (Example: Start Date = August 30: 30/08/2018, End Date = September 1: 01/09/2018)
