Date Comparision in Javascript - String is Language Specific?

Hi,





I m trying to compare 2 dates in java script.


I have the datestring(s), say Dec 22, 2006 and Dec 21, 2006





I am using


var a = new Date('Dec 22, 2006');


var b = new DatE('Dec 21, 2006');


And am able to compare a%26lt;b, b%26lt;a, and a==b successfully





But when the date String is in spanish, french etc. where we have date strings as


dic 22, 2006, dic 21, 2006 - the above code isn't able to understand it.





Any suggestions on how this should be done ?? .

The best thing to do is to more explicitly construct your dates, or to use UTC time instead of locale.





For example:





var a = new Date();


a.setMonth = 11;


a.setDate = 22;


a.setYear = 2006;





var b = new Date();


b.setMonth = 11;


b.setDate = 21;


b.setYear = 2006;





var a = new Date('Dec 22, 2006').toUTCString();


var b = new Date('Dec 21, 2006').toUTCString();
