  <pre><code>$.validator.addMethod("minDate", function(value, element) {
      var now = new Date(); 
      var myDate = new Date(value);
      var mD = ("0" + (myDate.getDate())).slice(-2) + '/' + ("0" + (myDate.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2) + '/' + myDate.getFullYear();
      var nowdate = ("0" + (now.getDate())).slice(-2) + '/' + ("0" + (now.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2) + '/' + now.getFullYear();
      return this.optional(element) || mD &gt; nowdate;
      // else alert('Das passt nicht!' + mD +  '   ' + nowdate);
  });
  </code></pre>
