convert iso date to milliseconds in javascript
Can I convert iso date to milliseconds? for example I want to convert this iso 2012-02-10T13:19:11+0000 to milliseconds. Because I want to compare current date from the created date. And created date is an iso date. Try this var date = new Date("11/21/1987 16:00:00"); // some mock date var milliseconds = date.getTime(); // This will return you the number of milliseconds // elapsed from January 1, 1970 // if your date is less than that date, the value will be negative EDIT You've provided an ISO date. It is also accepted by the constructor of the Date object var myDate = new Date("2012-02-10T13
