Question

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.

Answer 1

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()
