I have a datetime string being provided to me in the following format:
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
2011-07-14 11:23:00
When attempting to parse it into a JavaScript date() object it fails. What is the best way to convert this into a format that JavaScript can understand?
The answers below suggest something like
var myDate = new Date('2011-07-14 11:23:00');
Which is what I was using. It appears this may be a browser issue. I've made a http://jsfiddle.net/czeBu/ for this. It works OK for me in Chrome. In Firefox 5.0.1 on OS X it returns Invalid Date.
