Problem with date formats in JavaScript with different browsers

Question

I am working with dates in an RSS feed, but am finding differing results when using the code below in IE, Chrome and Firefox:

new Date(\'2001-01-01T12:00:00Z         


        

Answer 1

This works in all browsers on my box - try it in the console:

alert(new Date('2001/01/31 12:00:00'))

so

new Date('2001-01-01T12:00:00Z'.replace(/\-/g,'\/').replace(/[T|Z]/g,' '))

IE8, FF3.6, Safari4, Chrome
