JavaScript Date comparision

1 New Member
Hi all,

I was trying to compare a date with todays date like this

var date1 = getDateObject(d ocument.groupFo rm.endDate.valu e);
var today = new Date();
today.setHours( 0,0,0);

if(date1 < today)
alert("date1 is less than today);
if(date1 >= today)
alert("date1 is greater than or equal to today);

when i enter tommorow's date second alert is displaying.
when i enter yesterdays date first alert was displaying.
But when i enter todays date second alert message was not displaying.

Can any one tell whats wrong with the code or give any suggestion how to achieve this.


regards

not sure... but to debug i would try doing an alert to show the values it is comparing:

alert("today = " + today + " and date1 = " + date1);

not really a solution, but might point you in the right direction...?

hope this helps.

I was very surprised to discover that >>> import datetime >>> x = datetime.date(2004, 9, 14) >>> y = datetime.datetime(2004, 9, 14, 6, 43, 15) >>> print x == y True How can these two objects be considered equal? Is there a *general* way to test for date != datetime as well as 4.5 != 4.6?

Hello All, I've joined the wxPython list, but this is my first post on the python list and it's good to be here :^) Anyway... My question is relating to Date equality. I am checking if two string representations of dates are less than or equal to eachother. The issue that I am having is that the date strings, ex. 09/15/04 is evaluated as > 09/14/04. However, when the last two digits for the year are changed, like this 09/15/04 is...

Hi All, How to perform case-insensitive comparision of strings? Would there be some kind of an indicator, which when set to true, would allow case-insenitive comparision of strings using if/select case, etc; after performing the case-insenisitive compare, the indicator can be reset to allow the conventional comparision of strings? kd

I have an Html page, user enters a Date (dd-mm-yyyy) here. There's a servlet connected in the backend for processing this submitted information, it must have a method to compare this entered date with the dates obtained from the backend table which again are retrieved as strings (dd-mm-yyyy). Can anyone suggest how to carry out comparision between these date strings? Eg: String Entered Date: "28-02-2007" String Backend Date:...

Hi I am trying to compare just the time portion of two variables that are of date time part. For example I have dtdate1= 2/2/07 10:00:00 dtdate2=3/4/07 9:00:00 so for the comparision I would want 10:00:00 cmp with 9:00:00 so ddate1>ddate2 is true. I tried converting to short time string but the comparison can not be done on the strings. Thanks Paul. --

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
