jQuery/JS - How to compare two date/time stamps?
<p>I have two date/time stamps:</p>

<pre><code>d1 = 2011-03-02T15:30:18-08:00 
d2 = 2011-03-02T15:36:05-08:00
</code></pre>

<p>I want to be above to compare the two:</p>

<pre><code>if (new Date(d1) &lt; new Date(d2)) {alert('newer')}
</code></pre>

<p>But that does not appear to be working correctly. Is there a way to compare not just the dates but the times as well.? thanks</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>

<pre><code>console.log(d1 + ' ' + d2);
console.log(new Date(d1) &gt; new Date(d2))


2011-03-02T15:30:18-08:00 2011-03-02T15:36:05-08:00
false
2011-03-02T15:30:18-08:00 2011-03-02T15:30:18-08:00
false
2011-03-02T15:30:18-08:00 2011-03-02T14:15:04-08:00
false
</code></pre>
