Question

I have following code

startDate = "2012-08-12"

I am subtracting 30 days from that date

var date = new Date(startDate);
var newDate = date.setDate(date.getDate() - 30);

I want to convert that newDate in the format yyyy MMM dd 2012 JUL 11 (subtracting 30 days from the date)

EDIT

I don’t want to use any plugins

I have been trying a long method to extract date, month and year and an array of months then substituting it.

Answer 1

You could do this as following:

myDate= Date.parse("2012-08-12") - 2592000000;
newDate = new Date(myDate);

Just parse the date so you get a number
