The code below mentioned is for comparision of date. Both date1 and mydate have similar values,But if i compare its not entering if loop. Any help appreciated

var Avl_date = document.getElementById("Available_Date").value;
var V_date1 = Avl_date.split('-');
var date1 = new Date (V_date1[2], date_arr.indexOf(V_date1[1]),V_date1[0]);
var myDate = new Date(); 
myDate.setHours(0,0,0);
 //Thu Dec 04 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (IST) --> date1
 //Thu Dec 04 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (IST) --> mydate
 if(myDate.getTime() === date1.getTime())
{
 //Not entering the loop
}

• bob-fornal: Have you used console.log to show the results for both .getTime() functions?
• Barmar: What is an if loop? if is for comparing things, not looping.
• user4323627: functionalities are not added in the code.If its true then,some thing should be displayed
• Barmar: You set the hours, minutes, and seconds, but not milliseconds.
• bob-fornal: You might want to put a console.log(myDate.getTime(), date1.getTime()) to see exactly what is being compared. It might not be what you expect.

Answer 1

You're not setting the milliseconds of myDate to 0, so it keeps its original milliseconds. Use:

myDate.setHours(0,0,0,0);

Answer 2

Barmar is correct. setting the milliseconds will solve your problem.
