Answer 1

You should not rely on javascript to validate your input. Please user your application endpoint to do so. Furthermore, you may want to use jQuery for example to achieve the thing that you want.

Answer 2

How about:

var today = new Date();
today.setDate(today.getDate() - 1);

if(sender._selectedDate < today) {    
}
