We currently save the date in this format: 12/12/2011 8:00:00 PM.
When I parse it in JS Date object, it converts into this: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT.
I do not believe this is a timezone issue because we are -4 GMT and it does not add up. Any ideas?
var start = new Date("12/12/2011 8:00:00 PM");
alert("12/12/2011 8:00:00 PM");
alert(start.toUTCString());
It seems to add up perfectly. “12/12/2011 8:00:00 PM” in GMT-4 is exactly “Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT”.
EDIT
Use toLocaleString to get the date and time in your local time zone.
