compare a date to today js code example

Example 1: compare date javascript

// solution is convert date to time by getTime()
start 		= startDate.getTime();
end 		= endDate.getTime();
current 	= date.getTime();

if (start <= current && current <= end) {
  // do something here
}

Example 2: date compare in js

var x = new Date('2013-05-23');
var y = new Date('2013-05-23');

// less than, greater than is fine:
x < y; => false
x > y; => false
x === y; => false, oops!

// anything involving '=' should use the '+' prefix
// it will then compare the dates' millisecond values
+x <= +y;  => true
+x >= +y;  => true
+x === +y; => true
