Question

I am facing a weird problem while initializes javascript date object,no matter what I initialize to it shows the date as 1 JAN 1970 05:30;

this is the way I try to initialize

var d=new date(27-02-1989);

alerting ‘d’ shows 1 JAN 1970…..,also sometimes it takes a date passed from the database but in the format as mm/dd/yyyy not in the format I want i.e dd/mm/yyyy

This problem has suddenly popped-up, as everything was working smooth couple of days ago,but today after opening the project (after 2 days) this issue is irritating me

Answer 1

// Transform your european date in RFC compliant date (american)
var date = '27-02-1989'.split('-').reverse().join('-');

// And this works
var d = new Date( date );
