How do I convert DateTime format to ShortDateString in Jquery?

I have a date that I would like to convert to String format. /Date(1281067200000)/ is supposed to be 08/06/2010 12:00:00:00. How do I convert /Date(1281067200000)/ to 8/6/2010?

What type of string format? You could use yourDate.toString() or yourDate.toLocaleDateString() depending on your use case.

My date returns /Date(1281067200000)/ when I would like to have something like 7/30/2010

This is what I am running into, but the "/Date()/" is messing up my conversion :(

I did some testing... var formatDate = new Date(1281067200000) is what I am looking for. Is there a way to use this "/Date(1281067200000)/" and add to make the conversion

You can remove unnecessary substrings:var formatDate = new Date("/Date(1281067200000)/".replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/", ""))
