I am taking an XML feed and writing it to HTML using JavaScript.

The date field has:

What I want to do is convert it to a more readable format like:

03/19/2012

Is there an easy way of doing this in JavaScript?

    One way is to write:

    s = s.replace(/(\d\d\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)/g, '$2/$3/$1');
    

    which uses a regular expression to replace a sequence of four digits, followed by a sequence of two digits, followed by a sequence of two digits, with the second, plus a /, plus the third, plus a /, plus the first.
