How to Deep Copy a Date Object in JavaScript
Raw
dateDeepCopy.js
// What works
var original = new Date();
var copy = new Date(original);
// What doesn't work
copy = original; // It should work, but it passes by reference so changes to copy also affect original
copy = jQuery.extend(true, {}, original); // Passes a useless object
