Javascript Date.parse help

Question

I am using Javascript Date.parse() to check if a start time is after an end time.

The time in question is like this:

Date.parse("12:0         


        

Answer 1

The docs for Date.parse() in IE state the following:

If the 24-hour clock is used, it is an error to specify "PM" for times later than 12 noon. For example, "23:15 PM" is an error.

For a cross-browser solution, you should avoid parse() and parse the time string manually. Alternatively, you could use a cross-browser library for parsing dates/times - DateJS is a popular one.
