Returns a date formatted as a string according to the client's locale and timezone.
navigator.globalization.dateToString(date, successCB, errorCB, options);
It returns the formatted date string to the successCB callback with a properties object as a parameter. That object should have a value property with a String value.
The inbound date parameter should be of type Date.
If there is an error formatting the date, then the errorCB callback is invoked with a GlobalizationError object as a parameter. The expected code for this error is GlobalizationError.FORMATTING_ERROR.
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.
In the case when the browser is set to the en_US locale, this should display a popup dialog with text similar to “date: 9/25/2012 4:21PM” using the default options.
navigator.globalization.dateToString(
new Date(),
function (date) {alert('date:' + date.value + '\n');},
function () {alert('Error getting dateString\n');},
{formatLength:'short', selector:'date and time'}
);
