Question

I have the the following date format in my jQuery. But when I try to do a dateparse using the datepicker it states that the object is not supported. I take it that the date format is incorrect.

The following line works fine in Chrome and Firefox but not in IE. I get NaN returned as a result:

var newdate = getNewDate(value);

function getNewDate(dateValue) {
    var newDate = new Date(dateValue);
    var cDate  = newDate.getDate();
    var cMonth = newDate.getMonth() + 1; // have to add one as January starts from 0
    var cYear = newDate.getFullYear();

    return cDate + "/" + cMonth + "/" + cYear;
};

When I do getDate it returns NaN for each of the gets, i.e. getDate, getMonth and getFullYear.

All I require is to get the date and return in this format dd/mm/yyyy

Any ideas?

Try this,

Demo

var value = '2012-04-01T23:00:00Z';
var newdate = getNewDate(value);
alert(newdate);
function getNewDate(dateValue) {
    var newDate = new Date(dateValue.substring(0,dateValue.indexOf('T')).replace(/-/g,'/'));
    var cDate  = newDate.getDate();
    // have to add one as January starts from 0
    var cMonth = newDate.getMonth() + 1; 
    var cYear = newDate.getFullYear(); 
    return cDate + "/" + cMonth + "/" + cYear;
};
