Question

When I send a date through JSON from Java to Javascript, it sends something like this:

var ds = "11:07:47 13/01/2011";

Javascript fails to parse this string into date

var d = new Date(ds);

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You need some JS that parse the String and return the year, month, day, minute,hour, second in strings:

var hour = ds.split(":")[0],
    minute = ds.split(":")[1],
    last_part = ds.split(":")[2],
    second = second_part.split(" ")[0],
    last_part2 = second_part.split(" ")[1],
    day = last_part2.split("/")[0],
    month =  last_part2.split("/")[1],
    year =  last_part2.split("/")[2];

and then instantiate the Date constructor:

var d = new Date ( year, month, day, hour, minute, second );
