Convert yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ to DateTime in JavaScript manually

Question

I receive from a Webservice a String with a date in this format:

yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ

I need to convert that String with JavaScript to a normal DateTime but without using the new Date('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ') because I'm using an old version of JavaScript that not support that conversion. I can split that string and get the:

• Year
• Month
• Days
• Time

but how to manipulate the time zone "fffZ" Any suggestions?

Here's a one liner from John Resig:

var date = new Date((time || "").replace(/-/g,"/").replace(/[TZ]/g," ")),
