Question

I have a date from which I need to extract just the hours and minutes.
The date is displayed in “2012-11-27 13:36:00” format. So I need just 13:36.
I did something like this

var currTime = this.event_start;
alert(currTime);
var jsFormat = new Date(currTime);
alert(jsFormat);

currtime gives the correct date whereas jsFormat alerts a undefined.

You could always do it the easy way 🙂

<script>
var currTime = "2012-11-27 13:36:00";
var t1 = currTime.split(' ');
var t2 = t1[1].split(':');
var h = t2[0];
var m = t2[1];

alert(h+':'+m);
</script>
