jquery – Javascript: check formatted date value against current date?

a text-input contains a german formatted date 15.09.2012

I simply use $(\'#wr_event_date\').val() to query the value in the input-field.

I wonder how I can match that date agains \”today\”?

var eventDate = $(\'#wr_event_date\').val();

   // if eventDate is older than today as in \"is over\" doSomething();

So basically I want to check if the eventDate is older than today and if so I want to doSomething();

Ideas on that? Thank you in advance.
