remove the local timezone from a date in javascript?

Question

I was wondering if I can remove the timezone from the date using javascript? I get the datetime on a json format, now I want to set it back but it returns more info of what I actually want/need.

What I have now is:

var d = new Date(); d.setTime(1432851021000); document.write(d); 

and the output is something like this:

Thu May 28 2015 16:10:21 GMT-0600 (CST) 

Id like to show only until the hour, and remove GMT-0600 (CST).

I know javascript takes that depending on the current user's timezone, which is a problem, because the information could be saved on different countries.

I am trying to avoid to create the format using something like:

d.date() + "/" + d.month()...etc 

Is there a better solution for this?

Answer 1

I believe d.toDateString() will output the format you're looking for.

var d = new Date(); d.setTime(1432851021000); d.toDateString(); // outputs to "Thu May 28 2015" d.toGMTString(); //outputs to "Thu, 28 May 2015 22:10:21 GMT" 

Or even d.toLocaleString() "5/28/2015, 6:10:21 PM"

There are lots of methods available to Date()

Since the part you want will always has fixed length you can use:

d.toString().slice(0, 24)
