The issue: Different formats for new Date() in IE 10 - IE 11. Javascript:
IE 11 / Chrome :
var m = new Date("2014-07-04T04:00:00"); console.log(m); // Fri Jul 04 2014 06:00:00 GMT+0200 (W. Europe Summer Time) IE 10:
var m = new Date("2014-07-04T04:00:00"); console.log(m); // Fri Jul 4 04:00:00 UTC+0200 2014 Is possible to use one ring to rule them all?
You shouldn't pass a string to new Date, specifically for this reason.
Instead, you should either give it the individual arguments:
new Date(2014, 6, 4, 4, 0, 0); // remember months are zero-based Or, if you want to give it a time in UTC, try:
var d = new Date(); d.setUTCFullYear(2014); d.setUTCMonth(6); d.setUTCDate(4); d.setUTCHours(4); d.setUTCMinutes(0); d.setUTCSeconds(0); d.setUTCMilliseconds(0); You can, of course, make a function to do this.
Alternatively, if you have a timestamp, you can simply do:
var d = new Date(); d.setTime(1404446400000); To complete the answer a bit. The UTC example given is dangerous, given that you execute on 31st of May (or any other 31st day of month) the following:
var d = new Date(); d.setUTCFullYear(2014); d.setUTCMonth(5); d.setUTCDate(4); d.setUTCHours(4); d.setUTCMinutes(0); d.setUTCSeconds(0); d.setUTCMilliseconds(0); it will produce "2014 July 4 04:00:00".
So prefer Date.UTC function instead:
new Date(Date.UTC(2014, 5, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0)) it will produce "2014 June 4 04:00:00".
