How can we convert datetime string to UTC in javascript. We are getting following JSON from REST service

[  

   {  

      CreationTime:June 2, 2015 8:04:53 PM IST,

      category:UI,

      severity:MAJOR,

      source:BILLING,

      status:ASSIGNED

   }

]

we are able to get CreationTime into a String variable but unable to convert to UTC. Any idea to convert this?

Using toUTCString():

var toUTC = new Date(June 2, 2015 8:04:53).toUTCString()

In Javascript you can use this method to convert a date from a Date() object, but not from a IST string. So you need format this string to a Date() object , then you can convert it to UTC. In this topic says what I mean.

Note If you try June 2, 2015 8:04:53 PM IST JavasScript take it as invalid date, for that you have to use .replace() function to remove the IST part of the string.
