I'm trying to compare some Dates in javascript.

For some reason, I'm getting Tue May 01 2012 16:43:03 GMT+0900 (JST) has no method 'getTime'

I started with this code inside a callback, but it was failing at getTime() on the line that creates var age:

for (var i = 0; i < array_of_usage_indices.length; i++) {

    store.get(array_of_usage_indices[i]['key'],function(may_need_gc) {

        if(may_need_gc) {

            var now = Date();

            var created = Date(may_need_gc['value']);

            var age = now.getTime()-created.getTime();

        }

    })

}

I've pared it down so my example page is literally just this:

<body>



<script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8>

            var now = Date();

            alert(now.getTime());

            var t = Date().getTime();
