What is the best way to initialize a JavaScript Date to midnight?

Question

What is the simplest way to obtain an instance of new Date() but set the time at midnight?

Answer 1

Adding usefulness to @Dan's example, I had the need to find the next midday or midnight.

var d = new Date();
if(d.getHours() < 12) {
   d.setHours(12,0,0,0); // next midnight/midday is midday
} else {
   d.setHours(24,0,0,0); // next midnight/midday is midnight
}

This allowed me to set a frequency cap for an event, only allowing it to happen once in the morning and once in the afternoon for any visitor to my site. The date captured was used to set the expiration of the cookie.
