When trying to check if dates match in two divs, e.g.

1. <div class="start_date">Wednesday 01 January</div>
2. <div class="end_date">Wednesday 01 January</div>

This is what I've written so far, but keep getting "undefined"

1. var a = $('.start_date'), b = $('.end_date'); if( a.text() == b.text() ) { $('.end_date').addClass('hide'); }
