How do I remove time part from JavaScript date?

Question

I have a date \'12/12/1955 12:00:00 AM\' stored in a hidden column. I want to display the date without the time. How do I do this?

Answer 1

Parse that string into a Date object:

var myDate = new Date('10/11/1955 10:40:50 AM');

Then use the usual methods to get the date's day of month (getDate) / month (getMonth) / year (getFullYear).

var noTime = new Date(myDate.getFullYear(), myDate.getMonth(), myDate.getDate());
