Javascript Giving Wrong Date After Conversion From String To Date In Ie 8

I'm having date from my app in the format eg. 2013-05-01T00:00:00 when i'm converting this to Date var d = '2013-05-01T00:00:00' var result = new Date(d); getting result as NaN w

Solution 1:

You should always parse date strings yourself, browsers are notoriously bad at it. For examle, some browsers will treat '2013-05-01T00:00:00' as UTC and others as local. It should be treated as UTC (since the timezone is missing), so:

functionparseDateString(s) {
    s = s.match(/\d+/g);
    returnnewDate(Date.UTC(s[0], --s[1], s[2], s[3], s[4], s[5], (s[6] || 0));
}

which will create a date object using the above values as UTC and with a timezone offset based on current system settings. So if your current timezone is UTC+0530, you should get the equivalent of:

2013-05-01T05:30:00+0530

however you seem to be getting a value for UTC-0130. I have no clue about that.

Oh, when you do:

newDate(d.replace(/-/g, '/'));

you are totally mangling the string so it is not an ISO 8601 string and you are completely at the mercy of an implementation dependent date parser (i.e. every implementation may be different, if that's possible).
