Java date format to JavaScript date format

Question

I would like to be able to convert a Java date format string, e.g. dd/MM/yyyy (07/06/2009) to a JavaScript date format string, e.g. dd/mm/yy (07/06/2009).

Answer 1

You could use my plugin jquery-dateFormat.

// Text
$.format.date("2009-12-18 10:54:50.546", "dd/MM/yyyy");
// HTML Object
$.format.date($("#spanDate").text(), "dd/MM/yyyy");
// Scriptlet
$.format.date("<%=java.util.Date().toString()%>", "dd/MM/yyyy");
// JSON
var obj = ajaxRequest();
$.format.date(obj.date, "dd/MM/yyyy");
