Chrome does not return correct hour in javascript

Question

First try is in IE 9 console:

new Date('2013-10-24T07:32:53') 
Thu Oct 24 07:32:53 UTC+0200 2013 

returns as expected

Next try is in FireFox 24 console:

new Date('2013-10-24T07:32:53')
Date {Thu Oct 24 2013 07:32:53 GMT+0200 (Central Europe Standard Time)}

Then I go into Chrome 30 console:

new Date('2013-10-24T07:32:53')
Thu Oct 24 2013 09:32:53 GMT+0200 (Central Europe Daylight Time)

But the time is 09 here, it should be 07.

Is this a bug in chrome or am I doing something wrong here?

I can't use any other format than this '2013-10-24T07:32:53' that I get by JSON from C#. I need to get the hour of this timestamp, with the getHours I get the incorect value in Chrome.

Solution:

var inputHour = input.split('T')[1];
inputHour = inputHour.substring(0, 2);

Its no bug. The implementation of date parse function differs across browsers & so does the format of the dateString accepted by it.

However this format seems to work same across ... link:

 new Date("October 13, 1975 11:13:00")

If possible, try and use

new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds)

for guaranteed results.

Regarding your format try parsing it yourself. Something like :

var str = '2013-10-24T07:32:53'.split("T");
var date = str[0].split("-");
var time = str[1].split(":");

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

Note (Thanks to RobG for this) : The Date constructor used above expects month as 0 - 11 & since October is 10 as per date String, the month has to be modified before passing it to the constructor.
