title: How to compare the date part alone from a date time value
body: <p>I have two variables namely </p>
  
  <pre><code>date1 = Mon Nov 25 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (IST)
  date2 = Mon Nov 25 2013 14:13:55 GMT+0530 (IST)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I compare the two dates I get that <code>date2</code> is greater which I need is correct. But I do not want to check the time part of the two dates I have. How could I get the date part alone from these two dates and compare it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>var today = new Date();     //Mon Nov 25 2013 14:13:55 GMT+0530 (IST) 
  d = new Date(my_value);     //Mon Nov 25 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (IST) 
  if(d&gt;=today){               //I need to check the date parts alone.
      alert(d is greater than or equal to current date);
  }
  </code></pre>
