Question

I have a date string that looks like the following javascript format.
I want to convert this to a date object and add one minute.

timeObject = "Mon Nov 07 2011 06:41:48 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)";


timeObject.setSeconds(timeObject.getSeconds() + 60);

====== SOLUTION ==========

never mind. I got it…

var time = $('#myDiv').val();     // = "Mon Nov 07 2011 06:41:48 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)";
var timeObject = new Date(time);                
alert(timeObject);
timeObject.setSeconds(timeObject.getSeconds() + 60);    
alert(timeObject);

Answer 1

Proper way is:

timeObject.setTime(timeObject.getTime() + 1000 * 60);
