In PHP, you can easily convert an English textual datetime description into a proper date with strtotime().

Is there anything similar in Javascript?

I found this article and tried the tutorial. Basically, you can use the date constructor to parse a date, then write get the seconds from the getTime() method

var d=new Date(October 13, 1975 11:13:00);

document.write(d.getTime() +  milliseconds since 1970/01/01);

Does this work?
