Regarding JavaScript new Date() and Date.parse()

rated 0 times [ 20] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 37658 / 14 Years ago, wed, december 1, 2010, 12:00:00

var exampleDate='23-12-2010 23:12:00';

I want to convert above string into a date and have tried a couple things:

var date = new Date(exampleDate); //returns invalid Date

var date1 = Date.parse(exampleDate); //returns NAN

This code is running fine in IE and Opera, but date is returning me an invalid Date and date1 is returning NAN in Firefox. What should I do?

Above format is only supported in IE and Chrome.

so try with another formats. following are some formats and there supporting browsers.

<script type=text/javascript>



//var dateString = 03/20/2008;  // mm/dd/yyyy [IE, FF]



 var dateString = 2008/03/20;  // yyyy/mm/dd [IE, FF]

// var dateString = 03-20-2008;  // mm-dd-yyyy [IE, Chrome]

// var dateString = March 20, 2008;  // mmmm dd, yyyy [IE, FF]

// var dateString = Mar 20, 2008;  // mmm dd, yyyy [IE, FF]



// Initalize the Date object by passing the date string variable

var myDate = new Date(dateString);

alert(myDate); 

</script>
