// You might want to consider beefing up the server, to recognize any valid ISO 8601 time format:

'2010-02-08T03:37:34.327Z'

'2010-02-08T03:38:06Z'

'2010-02-08T03:38+01:00'

'2010-02-08T03:34:18-05:00'

'2010-02-08T03:34Z'

'2010-02-08'

This is a method to convert any iso string to a javascript date object. It could be used on the server with a little translation:

Date.from_iso= function(s){
    var D, M= [], hm, min= 0, d2,
    Rx=  /([\d:]+)(\.\d+)?(Z|(([+\-])(\d\d):(\d\d))?)?$/;
    D= s.substring(0, 10).split('-');
    if(s.length> 11){
        M= s.substring(11).match(Rx) || [];
        if(M[1]) D= D.concat(M[1].split(':'));
        if(M[2]) D.push(Math.round(M[2]*1000));// msec
    }
    for(var i= 0, L= D.length; i
