Parses a date formatted as a string according to the client's user preferences and calendar using the time zone of the client and returns the corresponding date object.
navigator.globalization.stringToDate(dateString, successCB, errorCB, options);
It returns the date to the success callback with a properties object as a parameter. That object should have the following properties:
The inbound dateString
parameter should be of type String
.
options.formatLength
can be ‘short’, ‘medium’, ‘long’, or ‘full’. options.selector
can be ‘date’, ‘time’ or ‘date and time’.
The default options are {formatLength:'short', selector:'date and time'}
. The options parameter is optional.
If there is an error parsing the date string, then the errorCB callback is invoked with a GlobalizationError object as a parameter. The expected code for this error is GlobalizationError.PARSING_ERROR.
In the case when the browser is set to the en_US locale, this should display a popup dialog with text similar to “month:8 day:25 year:2012”. Note that the month integer is one less than the string, as the month integer represents an index.
navigator.globalization.stringToDate( '9/25/2012', function (date) {alert('month:' + date.month + ' day:' + date.day + ' year:' + date.year + '\n');}, function () {alert('Error getting date\n');}, {selector:'date'} );
