Question

I am converting json date from something like:

/Date(1224043200000)/

to

Mon Oct 22 16:37:04 UTC+0800 2012

using

var date = new Date(parseInt(dateData.substr(6), 10));

Is there any way to change the format to just show the month, date and year (Oct 22, 2012) instead of including the timezone and current day using similar if not the same code as the one I’m already using? Thanks so much.

Checkout datejs which has powerful formatting capabilities. Using the toString FormatSpecifiers, you can provide a custom pattern like this:

new Date().toString("MMM dd yyyy");
