JQuery Datepicker returned Date object type

datepicker, jquery

Solution

I just downloaded the source from here and noticed (ex line 600) the author is using .getTime() to compare dates, have you tried that?

if (oDate.getTime() > date.getTime()) {
    ...
}

Also this is tangential but you mention you tried oDate.toString() while I noticed in the examples the author is using .asString()

Problem

What's the object type returned by Datepicker? Supposing I have the following: ``` $("#txtbox").datepicker({ onClose: function(date){ //something } }); ``` What is `date`? I'm interested in reading the date object from another Datepicker for comparison, something like: ``` function(date){ oDate = $("#oDP").datepicker("getDate"); if(oDate == date) //do one else if(oDate > date) //do two } ``` However, this kind of comparison is not working. I'm guessing there is some sort of comparison method for Date object, but I don't know. I also tried comparing the String representation of the dates like `oDate.toString() > date.toString()` to no avail.
