      var today = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate()); 
      var user_dt=document.getElementById("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txtcanndate").value;
      var dd=parseInt(user_dt.substring(0,2),10);
      var mon=parseInt(user_dt.substring(3,5),10);
      var yr=parseInt(user_dt.substring(6,10),10);
      var userDate = new Date(yr,mon,dd); // Get user date in mm/dd/yyyy format
   
    if(today.getDate() > userDate.getDate())
    {
