Spry textfield validation

Question

Hi, how can I modify this code for the spry textfield validation.js file? My text field is set to yyyy-mm-dd.  When I enter a date and hit the submit button all works well but, how can I modify this portion of the .js file so the date yyyy-mm-dd is not less than today's date?
===================
'date': {
validation: function(value, options) {
var formatRegExp = /^([mdy]+)[\.\-\/\\\s]+([mdy]+)[\.\-\/\\\s]+([mdy]+)$/i;
var valueRegExp = this.dateValidationPattern;
var formatGroups = options.format.match(formatRegExp);
var valueGroups = value.match(valueRegExp);
if (formatGroups !== null && valueGroups !== null) {
var dayIndex = -1;
var monthIndex = -1;
var yearIndex = -1;
for (var i=1; i<formatGroups.length; i++) {
switch (formatGroups[i].toLowerCase()) {
case "dd":
dayIndex = i;
break;
case "mm":
monthIndex = i;
break;
case "yy":
case "yyyy":
yearIndex = i;
break;
if (dayIndex != -1 && monthIndex != -1 && yearIndex != -1) {
var maxDay = -1;
var theDay = parseInt(valueGroups[dayIndex], 10);
var theMonth = parseInt(valueGroups[monthIndex], 10);
var theYear = parseInt(valueGroups[yearIndex], 10);
// Check month value to be between 1..12
if (theMonth < 1 || theMonth > 12) {
return false;
// Calculate the maxDay according to the current month
switch (theMonth) {
case 1: // January
case 3: // March
case 5: // May
case 7: // July
case 8: // August
case 10: // October
case 12: // December
maxDay = 31;
break;
case 4: // April
case 6: // June
case 9: // September
case 11: // November
maxDay = 30;
break;
case 2: // February
if ((parseInt(theYear/4, 10) * 4 == theYear) && (theYear % 100 != 0 || theYear % 400 == 0)) {
maxDay = 29;
} else {
maxDay = 28;
break;
// Check day value to be between 1..maxDay
if (theDay < 1 || theDay > maxDay) {
return false;
// If successfull we'll return the date object
return (new Date(theYear, theMonth - 1, theDay));   //JavaScript requires a month between 0 and 11
} else {
return false;

Excellent, thank you, that will get me in the right
direction. Its not
100%, but I think I can tinker with an expression to get what
I want.
The number is couldn't handle is [phone] but its
not an
approved format anyway, but lots of companies still do it
this way, so I
want to ensure I get it right.
Thanks again!
