How to compare the date part alone from a date time value

rated 0 times [ 76] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 71375 / 11 Years ago, mon, november 25, 2013, 12:00:00

I have two variables namely

date1 = Mon Nov 25 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (IST)

date2 = Mon Nov 25 2013 14:13:55 GMT+0530 (IST)

When I compare the two dates I get that date2 is greater which I need is correct. But I do not want to check the time part of the two dates I have. How could I get the date part alone from these two dates and compare it?

var today = new Date();     //Mon Nov 25 2013 14:13:55 GMT+0530 (IST) 

d = new Date(my_value);     //Mon Nov 25 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (IST) 

if(d>=today){               //I need to check the date parts alone.

    alert(d is greater than or equal to current date);

}

Try clearing the time using Date.setHours:

dateObj.setHours(hoursValue[, minutesValue[, secondsValue[, msValue]]])

Example Code:

var today = new Date();

today.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);

d = new Date(my_value); 

d.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);



if(d >= today){ 

    alert(d is greater than or equal to current date);

}
