You are executing the code before the document has finished loading, thus it's not picking any of the dates up.

javascript Code:

<body>
2009-08-22
<script>
var Matches = document.body.innerHTML.match(/\d{4}(\-)\d{2}(\-)\d{2}/);
alert(Matches); //Null
</script>
</body>

Or you could just tell the javascript to execute once the document has finished loading.

javascript Code:

<head>
<script>
window.onload = function()
{
    var Matches = document.body.innerHTML.match(/\d{4}(\-)\d{2}(\-)\d{2}/);
    alert(Matches); //Null
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
2009-08-22
</body>
