How do I convert string(09-Apr-2010) in to date time (09 April 2010 00:00:00) using java script? I need to compare the dates for validation.

check out Date.parse
str = "09-Apr-2010"
date = new Date(Date.parse(str.replace(/-/g, " ")))
alert(date.toLocaleString())

One caveat: Date.parse with ISO format dates ('2010-04-01') doesn't seem to work on IE7, although it works in Firefox and Chrome.
Try this should work
<script language="javascript">
function validateDate(oSrc, args)
{
var iDay, iMonth, iYear;
var arrValues;
arrValues = args.Value.split("/");
iMonth = arrValues[0];
iDay = arrValues[1];
iYear = arrValues[2];
var testDate = new Date(iYear, iMonth - 1, iDay);
if ((testDate.getDate() != iDay) ||
(testDate.getMonth() != iMonth - 1) ||
(testDate.getFullYear() != iYear))
{
args.IsValid = false;
return;
}
return true;
}
</script>
