  <p>I haven't done much JavaScript. I am trying to compare two dates. From jconsole:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = ["01/01/2010","01/02/2010","01/03/2010"]
  
  date1 = new Date('01/02/2010')
  Sat Jan 02 2010 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)
  
  date2 = new Date(a[1])
  Sat Jan 02 2010 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)
  
  date1 == date2
  false
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone tell me why this does not match?</p>
