Date Conversions

[strangeBrew12]

I am learning JavaScript on the fly right now, so a quick answer is greatly appreciated.

I am trying to receive two date values from a user web page and convert them to date values for comparison.

Date1 Date2
1/1/01 1/1/06

I am trying to do a simple comparison of
if (Date1 == Date2)
{
//update constant variable here
}

For some reason the dates are not getting converted and I have a Y2K issue with the dates.

If the dates are Date() objects, you could use

if (Date1.getTime() == Date2.getTime())
  {
  //update variable here
  }

If they're in the format that you showed above you'll have to split them and do a bit more processing.
