You should post the HTML page that you have the code from, that way people can see and work with thecode to iron out any issues you may have or offer advice.

I have looked at your snippits and cant tell much from it other than your ommitting the document. portion of the objects. and your checks need to be >= and not just > ,what if the person uses the voucher in this year && this month, it wouldn't validate.
