How to make a query using dates

I need to pull from the DB all rows in a day

var i_sDate = "2014-06-21"; // (user input)
var startDate = new Date();
var month = parseInt(i_sDate.substr(5,2)) - 1;
var day = i_sDate.substr(8,2);
startDate.setFullYear(i_sDate.substr(0,4), month, day);
startDate.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);

var endDate = new Date();
endDate.setFullYear(i_sDate.substr(0,4), month, day);
endDate.setHours(23, 59, 59, 0);

var query = {start_time:{"$gte": "ISODate('" + startDate.toISOString() + "')", "$lt": "ISODate('" + endDate.toISOString() + "')"}};
var tableInfo = Users_Collection.find(query).fetch();

console.log(query);

when I print "query" it looks OK, but I don't get any result at all, I put the same information directly on the DB and I get the expected result. It seems like I'm building the query in the wrong way, any suggestion?????

thanks in advance!

You should directly use Date objects in your query. Try this:

var query = {start_time: {$gte: startDate, $lt: endDate}};

It also looks like you were missing a closing }.
