Error while converting date string to Date object in Firefox [duplicate]

Answer 1

Looks like Firefox does not like the - in dateString.

Replace all occurrences of - with / using a regular expression and then convert the string to Date object.

var str = '02-24-2014 09:22:21 AM';

str = str.replace(/-/g,'/');  // replaces all occurances of "-" with "/"

var dateObject = new Date(str);

alert(dateObject.toDateString());
