How to convert string 2010-1-10 to date object in javascript?

Question

The string can be got by getFullYear and so on.

Can it be done reversely?

Answer 1

Replace - by / and JavaScript can parse it. Stupid mistake in JS specification (ISO date/time standard is very clear that - is correct)

var str = "2010-1-10";
alert(Date.parse(str.replace(/-/g,"/")));

Try pasting it in your browser: javascript:alert(Date.parse("2010-01-01".replace(/-/g,"/")));
