Solution 2

The Date constructor[^] does not use dd/mm/yyyy but mm/dd/yyyy.

Use

JavaScript

var arrStartDate = startDate.value.split("/");
var date1 = new Date(arrStartDate[2], arrStartDate[1], arrStartDate[0]);
var arrEndDate = endDate.value.split("/");
var date2 = new Date(arrEndDate[2], arrEndDate[1], arrEndDate[0]);

to get the correct date objects from the strings.
