javascript convert from epoch string to Date object

Question

var myDate = new Date(); var epoch = myDate.getTime(); //1318023197289 number of ms since epoch var unixEpoch = Math.round(epoch/1000) 

1. How do you convert epoch back to a Date object?
2. Can you also convert unixEpoch back to a Date object?

Answer 1

var date = new Date(1318023197289); 

And, since unixEpoch is simply epoch / 1000, you can similarly multiply the argument in the constructor by 1000.
