How to set Hours,minutes,seconds to Date which is in GMT

Question

I have Date Object ,I wanted to clear HOUR,MINUTE and SECONDS from My Date.Please help me how to do it in Javascript. Am i doing wrong ?

var date = Date(\"         


        

Answer 1

To parse the date into JavaScript simply use

var date = new Date("Fri, 26 Sep 2014 18:30:00 GMT”);

And then set Hours, Minutes and seconds to 0 with the following lines

date.setHours(0);
date.setMinutes(0);
date.setSeconds(0);

date.toString() now returns your desired date
