Jquery Date.parse returning NaN in Chrome browser?

I have a senario where i have to parse two dates for example start date and end date.

var startdate = '02/01/2011';

var enddate = '31/12/2011';

But if we alert start date

 alert(Date.Parse(startdate)); i will get 1296498600000

but if i alert enddate

 alert(Date.Parse(enddate)); i will get NaN

But this is working in other browsers except Chrome, But in other browsers

alert(Date.Parse(enddate)); i will get 1370889000000

Can anybody know a workaround for this?

If you want to parse a date without local differences, use the following, instead of Date.parse():

var enddate = '31/12/2011'; //DD/MM/YYYY

var split = enddate.split('/');

// Month is zero-indexed so subtract one from the month inside the constructor

var date = new Date(split[2], split[1] - 1, split[0]); //Y M D 

var timestamp = date.getTime();
