jQuery UI - Convert jQuery UI Datepicker to UNIX time

rated 0 times [ 60] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 17164 / 12 Years ago, sat, june 16, 2012, 12:00:00

I'm using jQuery UI datepicker with time plugin. This is how I display time on the page in datepicker itself:

21.06.2012 08:00

I'd like to convert this time to UNIX timestamp before sending to backend. How can I do this?
I don't need to dispay UNIX time on the page, I only need to convert before posting. I've tried:

var d = Date.parse(value_of_datepicker);

but had no luck. It seems date should be formated in another way. Also I've tried several build-in datepicker functions, but all of them set date display view. Thanks.

If you use jQuery timepicker by Trent Richardson, you can do this: $(#your_datepicker).datetimepicker(getDate).getTime() / 1000

Remember that this function may return null if no date has been selected.
