另一种比较两个日期的方法是通过toISOString（）方法。这在与保存在字符串中的固定日期进行比较时特别有用，因为可以避免创建短时间对象。借助ISO 8601格式，您可以按字典方式比较这些字符串（至少在使用相同时区时）。

我不一定说它比使用时间对象或时间戳更好；只是将此作为另一种选择。这可能会失败，但我还没有发现：）

嗨，这是我比较日期的代码。在我的情况下，我正在检查是否允许选择过去的日期。

var myPickupDate = <pick up date> ;
var isPastPickupDateSelected = false;
var currentDate = new Date();

if(currentDate.getFullYear() <= myPickupDate.getFullYear()){
    if(currentDate.getMonth()+1 <= myPickupDate.getMonth()+1 || currentDate.getFullYear() < myPickupDate.getFullYear()){
                        if(currentDate.getDate() <= myPickupDate.getDate() || currentDate.getMonth()+1 < myPickupDate.getMonth()+1 || currentDate.getFullYear() < myPickupDate.getFullYear()){
                                            isPastPickupDateSelected = false;
                                            return;
                                        }
                    }
}
console.log("cannot select past pickup date");
isPastPickupDateSelected = true;

什么格式？

如果您构造了Javascript Date对象，您可以将它们减去以获得毫秒差（编辑：或只是比较它们）：

js>t1 = new Date()
Thu Jan 29 2009 14:19:28 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
js>t2 = new Date()
Thu Jan 29 2009 14:19:31 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
js>t2-t1
2672
js>t3 = new Date('2009 Jan 1')
Thu Jan 01 2009 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
js>t1-t3
2470768442
js>t1>t3
true

日期比较：

var str1  = document.getElementById("Fromdate").value;
var str2  = document.getElementById("Todate").value;
var dt1   = parseInt(str1.substring(0,2),10); 
var mon1  = parseInt(str1.substring(3,5),10);
var yr1   = parseInt(str1.substring(6,10),10); 
var dt2   = parseInt(str2.substring(0,2),10); 
var mon2  = parseInt(str2.substring(3,5),10); 
var yr2   = parseInt(str2.substring(6,10),10); 
var date1 = new Date(yr1, mon1, dt1); 
var date2 = new Date(yr2, mon2, dt2); 

if(date2 < date1)
{
   alert("To date cannot be greater than from date");
   return false; 
} 
else 
{ 
   alert("Submitting ...");
   document.form1.submit(); 
} 

如果以下是您的日期格式，您可以使用此代码：

var first = '2012-11-21';
var second = '2012-11-03';
if(parseInt(first.replace(/-/g,""),10) > parseInt(second.replace(/-/g,""),10)){
   //...
}

将检查20121121号是否大于20121103号。

“一些”发布的代码的改进版本

/* Compare the current date against another date.
 *
 * @param b  {Date} the other date
 * @returns   -1 : if this < b
 *             0 : if this === b
 *             1 : if this > b
 *            NaN : if a or b is an illegal date
*/ 
Date.prototype.compare = function(b) {
  if (b.constructor !== Date) {
    throw "invalid_date";
  }

 return (isFinite(this.valueOf()) && isFinite(b.valueOf()) ? 
          (this>b)-(this<b) : NaN 
        );
};

用法：

  var a = new Date(2011, 1-1, 1);
  var b = new Date(2011, 1-1, 1);
  var c = new Date(2011, 1-1, 31);
  var d = new Date(2011, 1-1, 31);

  assertEquals( 0, a.compare(b));
  assertEquals( 0, b.compare(a));
  assertEquals(-1, a.compare(c));
  assertEquals( 1, c.compare(a));
