convert dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy in javascript

Question

I want to convert dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy in javascript.

Answer 1

var date = "24/09/1977";
var datearray = date.split("/");

var newdate = datearray[1] + '/' + datearray[0] + '/' + datearray[2];

newdate will contain 09/24/1977. The split method will split the string wherever it finds a "/", so if the date string was "24/9/1977", it would still work and return 9/24/1977.
