您可以使用以下代码：

var firstValue = "2012-05-12".split('-');
var secondValue = "2014-07-12".split('-');

 var firstDate=new Date();
 firstDate.setFullYear(firstValue[0],(firstValue[1] - 1 ),firstValue[2]);

 var secondDate=new Date();
 secondDate.setFullYear(secondValue[0],(secondValue[1] - 1 ),secondValue[2]);     

  if (firstDate > secondDate)
  {
   alert("First Date  is greater than Second Date");
  }
 else
  {
    alert("Second Date  is greater than First Date");
  }

还要检查Date类的MDN文章。

日期比较：

var str1  = document.getElementById("Fromdate").value;
var str2  = document.getElementById("Todate").value;
var dt1   = parseInt(str1.substring(0,2),10); 
var mon1  = parseInt(str1.substring(3,5),10);
var yr1   = parseInt(str1.substring(6,10),10); 
var dt2   = parseInt(str2.substring(0,2),10); 
var mon2  = parseInt(str2.substring(3,5),10); 
var yr2   = parseInt(str2.substring(6,10),10); 
var date1 = new Date(yr1, mon1, dt1); 
var date2 = new Date(yr2, mon2, dt2); 

if(date2 < date1)
{
   alert("To date cannot be greater than from date");
   return false; 
} 
else 
{ 
   alert("Submitting ...");
   document.form1.submit(); 
} 

var date = new Date(); // will give you todays date.

// following calls, will let you set new dates.
setDate()   
setFullYear()   
setHours()  
setMilliseconds()   
setMinutes()    
setMonth()  
setSeconds()    
setTime()

var yesterday = new Date();
yesterday.setDate(...date info here);

if(date>yesterday)  // will compare dates

比较两个日期的一种方法是使用dates.js库。

Date.compare（Date-date1，Date-date2）方法，返回一个数字，表示以下结果之一：

-1=日期1小于日期2。0=值相等。1=日期1大于日期2。

var curDate=new Date();
var startDate=document.forms[0].m_strStartDate;

var endDate=document.forms[0].m_strEndDate;
var startDateVal=startDate.value.split('-');
var endDateVal=endDate.value.split('-');
var firstDate=new Date();
firstDate.setFullYear(startDateVal[2], (startDateVal[1] - 1), startDateVal[0]);

var secondDate=new Date();
secondDate.setFullYear(endDateVal[2], (endDateVal[1] - 1), endDateVal[0]);
if(firstDate > curDate) {
    alert("Start date cannot be greater than current date!");
    return false;
}
if (firstDate > secondDate) {
    alert("Start date cannot be greater!");
    return false;
}
