  • 0

I create a new Date in javascript and provide it the string value of a date like so:

>>> string_date = '2009-09-09';
>>> var myDate = new Date(string_date);
>>> myDate
Tue Sep 08 2009 20:00:00 GMT-0400 (EST) { locale="en"}

The string date comes from a calendar picker widget and I write the value from that widget to a hidden input field. The format of the date is YYYY-MM-DD. Also, with the code above, I write the date selected to a div to show the date in a nice way. However, the users are confused by the date shown that way. So, how can I show the date in such a way that the locale is not considered and so, write it as Sep 09, 2009?

Thanks! 🙂

    Something like this?

    <script type="text/javascript">
<!--

var m_names = new Array("January", "February", "March", 
"April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", 
"October", "November", "December");

var d = new Date();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth();
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();

document.write(m_names[curr_month] + " " + curr_date + ", " + curr_year);

//-->
</script>
