When I send a date through JSON from Java to Javascript, it sends something like this:
var ds = "11:07:47 13/01/2011";
Javascript fails to parse this string into date
var d = new Date(ds);
Any ideas?
To be on the safe side you should get the time in milliseconds in Java and send that through JSON to JavaScript. There you can use
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(valueInMilliseconds);
You need some JS that parse the String and return the year, month, day, minute,hour, second in strings:
var hour = ds.split(":")[0],
minute = ds.split(":")[1],
last_part = ds.split(":")[2],
second = second_part.split(" ")[0],
last_part2 = second_part.split(" ")[1],
day = last_part2.split("/")[0],
month = last_part2.split("/")[1],
year = last_part2.split("/")[2];
and then instantiate the Date constructor:
var d = new Date ( year, month, day, hour, minute, second );
There are a number of ways you can call the Date
constructor.
From the reference at http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_obj_date.asp:
new Date() // current date and time
new Date(milliseconds) //milliseconds since 1970/01/01
new Date(dateString)
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds)
function stringToDate(_date,_format,_delimiter)
{
var formatLowerCase=_format.toLowerCase();
var formatItems=formatLowerCase.split(_delimiter);
var dateItems=_date.split(_delimiter);
var monthIndex=formatItems.indexOf("mm");
var dayIndex=formatItems.indexOf("dd");
var yearIndex=formatItems.indexOf("yyyy");
var month=parseInt(dateItems[monthIndex]);
month-=1;
var formatedDate = new Date(dateItems[yearIndex],month,dateItems[dayIndex]);
return formatedDate;
}
stringToDate("17/9/2014","dd/MM/yyyy","/");
stringToDate("9/17/2014","mm/dd/yyyy","/")
stringToDate("9-17-2014","mm-dd-yyyy","-")
