problem with date validation

Hello everyone, I am facing a problem with the start date and the end date.I have to do a validation such that the end date entered with the date picker should be equal to or greater than the start date.I have written the following code but it is not helping me out.Here is the code of javascript

<script language="javascript">

function validate()
{
if(document.tstest.timestamp1.value < document.tstest.timestamp.value)
{
alert('Please check the End date');
return false;
}
if(document.tstest.timestamp.value.length==0 && document.tstest.timestamp1.value.length==0) 
{
alert("Please enter the date");
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>]
The html code is as follows. start date
<input readonly type="Text" id="start" name="timestamp" size = "20" value=""> End date
<input readonly type="Text" id="end" name="timestamp1" size = "20" value=""> The problem is that the validation is done only for days but not for the month and year.If you enter the start date as dd/mm/yyyy 12/8/2008 and End date as 11/8/2008 it will give an alert box but if you enter start date as 12/8/2008 and end date as 09/8/2008 than the form is submitted it is not validating. Please anyone can find a solution for this. thanks in advance.
