Converting a normal date to ISO-8601 format [duplicate]

Answer 1

There's the .toISOString() method on date. You can use that for Browsers with support for ECMA-Script 5. For those without, install the method like this:

if (!Date.prototype.toISOString) {
    Date.prototype.toISOString = function() {
        function pad(n) { return n < 10 ? '0' + n : n };
        return this.getUTCFullYear() + '-'
            + pad(this.getUTCMonth() + 1) + '-'
            + pad(this.getUTCDate()) + 'T'
            + pad(this.getUTCHours()) + ':'
            + pad(this.getUTCMinutes()) + ':'
            + pad(this.getUTCSeconds()) + 'Z';
    };
}
