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

this code :

  var exampledate='23-12-2010 23:12:00';     var date=new date(exampledate);//returns invalid date   var date1=date.parse(exampledate);//returns nan 

i want convert above string date. have written code have seen above.

this code running fine in ie , opera, date variable returning me invalid date , date1 returning nan in mozilla firefox, should do?

above format supported in ie , chrome.

so try formats. following formats , 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 date object passing date string variable var mydate = new date(datestring); alert(mydate);  </script>
