Location when comparing dates
<p>If I use the strategy to compare text-based dates shown here: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/492994/compare-dates-with-javascript">Compare dates with JavaScript</a>.</p>

<p>Suppose the user inputs "03/02/2013" (the format with "/" will be respected) and I compare it to "04/01/2013". In the European calendar, the first date is February 3rd and the second is January 1st. But in the US calendar, the first is March 2nd and the second is April 1st. For the European standard, the first date is bigger than the second, but for the US standard, the second is larger.</p>

<p>Does this method from the link account for dates location? I haven't found a way to test this without my computer taking the European version, that's why I ask.</p>
