Question

I tried to split data as below, but the error ‘dat.split is not a function’ displays. Anyone know how can I solve this problem?

var dat = new Date('2009/12/12'); var r = dat.split('/'); 

Answer 1

You can’t split() a Date – you can split() a String, though:

var dat = '2009/12/12';  var r = dat.split('/'); 

returns:

['2009', '12', '12'] 

To do the equivalent with a date, use something like this:

var dat = new Date(); var r = [dat.getFullYear(), dat.getMonth() + 1, dat.getDate()]; 

returns:

[2009, 4, 17]
