Parse DateTime string in JavaScript

Question

Does anyone know how to parse date string in required format dd.mm.yyyy?

Answer 1

See:

• Mozilla Core JavaScript Reference: Date object
• Mozilla Core JavaScript Reference: String.Split

Code:

var strDate = "03.09.1979";
var dateParts = strDate.split(".");

var date = new Date(dateParts[2], (dateParts[1] - 1), dateParts[0]);
