    `d1` is also incorrect the [spec.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date) says `Date(year, month, day [, hrs, mins, secs, ms]);` – Emissary Sep 09 '13 at 12:12

convert date to timestamp

DateObject.getTime(); will give timestamp

and convert string to date new Date(d2)

javScript

var d1 = new Date("12/05/2013");
var d2 = "12/05/2013";
console.log(d1.getTime());
console.log(new Date(d2).getTime());

if(d1.getTime() == new Date(d2).getTime()){
   //do something
}

To compare two variables you need to use JS operators, consider:

if(d1==d2)
{
 //do this
}

else
{
 //do this
}

More information on logical operators can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_comparisons.asp
