I have two date fields the first one is store in MSSQL database known as leavingDate the second is a date picker in the form where user have to select a date.

I need to make sure the selectedDate is not greater than the leavingDate but nothing seems to work.

I have formatted both dates to string and comparing them as follows:

leavingDate = '2023/11/30
selectedDate = '2023/12/29 //This is wrong

if(selectedDate > leavingDate)
{
   //do something because the date selected is greater.

}

Some of the selected dates works some don’t so how do I make sure that the JS always works when comparing two dates (one from database and one from input fields using moment.js)
