How can convert a string to date format in java script. I want to convert this string "Wed May 15 2013 11:30:00 GMT 0530 (IST)" into a date format.

    You mean like `var time = new Date(); return time.toString();` ? – Simon May 16 '13 at 10:23

  • Check the post imkost linked and if you still have problems getting the right format, write in your question what format you need the datetime to be in. – Simon May 16 '13 at 10:30
  • Yes Simon you are right you got my point. I want to in the following format :- "YY-MM-dd" – Ravindra Shekhawat May 16 '13 at 10:36

Use Date.parse function

// create Date object from string
var d = new Date(Date.parse("Wed May 15 2013 11:30:00 GMT 0530 (IST)"));
var dateString = d.getFullYear()+"-"+(d.getMonth()+1)+"-"+d.getDate();

<script type="javascript">
   var dateTime = new Date(); 
   alert(dateTime.toString());
</script>
