How to clone a Date object?

by

Use the Date object’s getTime() method, which returns the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC (epoch time):

var date = new Date();
var copiedDate = new Date(date.getTime());

In Safari 4, you can also write:

var date = new Date();
var copiedDate = new Date(date);

…but I’m not sure whether this works in other browsers. (It seems to work in IE8).
