You said you were looking for ideas. Just a thought, but you could let the
browser do this for you with a little javascript on your form.
Assuming the following HTML table:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Yada</td>
<td class="time">2014-12-03</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Yada</td>
<td class="time">2014-12-05</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Yada</td>
<td class="time">2014-12-04</td>
</tr>
</table>
This JavaScript code will highlight the 1st and 3rd items:
var now = new Date('2014-12-05'); // for example only
$('.time').each(function() {
x = new Date($(this).text());
if (x < now) {
$(this).css('background-color', 'red');
$(this).css('color', 'white');
}
});
Head over to jsfiddle(DOT)net to try it out with your actual form content.
Hope this helps.
