What is the best way to determine if a date is today in JavaScript?

Question

I have a date object in JavaScript and I want to figure out if that date is today. What is the fastest way of doing this?

My concern was around comparing date object

Answer 1

var someDate = new Date("6 Dec 2011").toDateString();
var today = new Date().toDateString();
var datesAreSame = (today === someDate);
