Test for date object

[aliensite]

How do check for a date object? Thanks.

<script type="text/javascript">
var d=new Date()
var arr=new Array("Jun 5",d,"Mar 16")
for(i=0;i<arr.l ength;i++){
if(arr[i] != Date()) // is string or is not date object
document.write( arr[i] + "<br>")
}
</script>

Desired output:
Jun 5
Mar 16

I think you want to check
if (typeof arr[i] == 'string')

Or you could check
if (typeof arr[i] != 'object' || arr[i].constructor != Date)
if you are really looking for anything that is not a Date instance.
