I've got some code to work with dates in javascript. This works in IE, FF, Safari (desktop versions win & mac), Chrome, Opera. In iPhone safari (mobile safari), i get a 'invalid date' response.
The code for managing dates is
function fixDateFormat(dateText){ var isoExp = /^\s*(\d{4})-(\d\d)-(\d\d)\s*$/, newDate = new Date(NaN), month, parts = isoExp.exec(dateText); if(parts) { month = +parts[2]; newDate.setFullYear(parts[1], month - 1, parts[3]); if(month != newDate.getMonth() + 1) { newDate.setTime(NaN); } else { newDate.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0); } } return newDate; }
Where the dateFormat is sent into this function as Y-m-d (though it was my understanding that this function would deal with a multitude of formats).
