Question

I’m getting json datetime object as /Date(1346996934000)/ and I’m adviced to convert this date like this

"aoColumns": [
{
    "sName": "JoinDate",
    "fnRender" : function(obj, val)
    {
        var dx = new Date(parseInt(val.substr(6)));
        var dd = dx.getDate();
        var mm = dx.getMonth() + 1;
        var yy = dx.getFullYear();

        if (dd <= 9)
        {
            dd = "0" + dd;
        }
        if (mm <= 9) {
            mm = "0" + mm;
        }
        return dd + "." + mm + "." + yy;
    }
}
]

but the final result is that I’m getting date as NaN.NaN.NaN ?
What can be a problem ?
