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

Question

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

Answer 1

Try:

    var today = new Date();     //Mon Nov 25 2013 14:13:55 GMT+0530 (IST) 
    var d = new Date(my_value);     //Mon Nov 25 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (IST) 
    var todayDateOnly = new Date(today.getFullYear(),today.getMonth(),today.getDate()); //This will write a Date with time set to 00:00:00 so you kind of have date only
    var dDateOnly = new Date(d.getFullYear(),d.getMonth(),d.getDate());

    if(dDateOnly>=todayDateOnly){               
        alert(d is greater than or equal to current date);
    }
