Javascript Invalid Date Error in Internet Explorer

Question

Relatively simple javascript here, not sure why IE hates me (treat others how you want to be treated I suppose).

var newDate = new Date(\"2012, 11, 2 19:30:0         


        

Answer 1

I was having the same issue with Internet Explorer. This is how I was formatting the date and time initially,

function formatDateTime(date, formatString = 'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm A') {
  return moment(new Date(date)).format(formatString);
}

The problem was with new Date(). I just removed it as it was already a UTC date. So it is just,

return moment(date).format(formatString);

This worked for me in all browsers including IE.
