I am trying to check if a date of format mm.dd.yyyy is greater than today and less than the date after 6 months from today.

Here is my code:

var isLinkExpiryDateWithinRange = function(value) {

    var monthfield = value.split('.')[0];

    var dayfield = value.split('.')[1];

    var yearfield = value.split('.')[2];

    var inputDate = new Date(yearfield, monthfield - 1, dayfield);

    var today = new Date();     

    today = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth(), today.getDate());

    alert(inputDate > today);//alert-> true

    var endDate = today;

    endDate.setMonth(endDate.getMonth() + 6);

    alert(inputDate > today);//alert-> false

    if(inputDate > today && inputDate < endDate) {

        alert('1');

    } else {

        alert('2');/always alert it

    }

}

If I execute isLinkExpiryDateWithinRange('12.08.2012') I wish it will show 1 as this is within the range, but it is displaying 2. Moreover the first alert is showing true and the second one false.

Can anyone please explain what is happening?
