sorry to disturb but i really don't get it working.
It starts already that in the constructor the $_fieldsToCompare array stays
empty. While this is the way i instantiate the validator:
$evtEndDate->addValidator('CompareDates',false,array<http://www.php.net/array>
($evtStartDate));
this is the full code
