comparing javascript dates

I have two javascript dates and I want to know if they\’re the same date. The two dates can be for the same date but have different times: Date1 can be set for 3PM while Date2 can be set for 1AM.

I tried these two options but neither work:

// doesn\'t work when same date but different time
if (Date1.getTime() === Date2.getTime()) 

// gives true when dates are in different months
if (Date1.getUTCDate() === Date2.getUTCDate())  

What the best way to get true when Date1 and Date2 are the same day, regardless of the actual time within the day?

Thanks.
