Parse DateTime string in JavaScript

See:

Mozilla Core JavaScript Reference: Date object
Mozilla Core JavaScript Reference: String.Split

Code:

var strDate = "03.09.1979";
var dateParts = strDate.split(".");

var date = new Date(dateParts[2], (dateParts[1] - 1), dateParts[0]);

If you are using jQuery UI, you can format any date with:

<html>
    <body>
        Your date formated: <span id="date1"></span><br/>
    </body>
</html>

var myDate = '30.11.2011';
var parsedDate = $.datepicker.parseDate('dd.mm.yy', myDate);

$('#date1').text($.datepicker.formatDate('M d, yy', parsedDate));

We use this code to check if the string is a valid date

var dt = new Date(txtDate.value)
if (isNaN(dt))

If you use moment.js, you can use "string" + "format" mode

moment(String, String);
moment(String, String, String);
moment(String, String, Boolean);
moment(String, String, String, Boolean);

ex:

moment("12-25-1995", "MM-DD-YYYY");
