I'm currently trying to see if the date value is set to today's date or greater. 

var date = document.getElementById("inputDate").value;
var varDate = new Date(date); //dd-mm-YYYY
var today = new Date();

if(varDate >= today) {
//Do something..
alert("Working!");
}

Date format dd-mm-YYYY

The current code above won't work.

  • please explain what values you want to compare - `today` is misnamed - thats more like `now` including time, not just the date. – Daniel A. White May 27 '16 at 14:18

If you only want to compare Date and not Date-Time then add this line 

var today = new Date();
today.setHours(0,0,0,0);

before comparison.
