Nice solution! Included in my library of auxiliary functions, now it looks like this:
Object.isDate = function(obj) {
/// <summary>
/// Determines if the passed object is an instance of Date.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="obj">The object to test.</param>
return Object.prototype.toString.call(obj) === '[object Date]';
}
Object.isValidDate = function(obj) {
/// <summary>
/// Determines if the passed object is a Date object, containing an actual date.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="obj">The object to test.</param>
return Object.isDate(obj) && !isNaN(obj.getTime());
}
