Returns a date formatted as a string according to the client's locale and timezone.
navigator.globalization.dateToString(date, successCallback, errorCallback, options);
Returns the formatted date String via a value property accessible from the object passed as a parameter to the successCallback.
The inbound date parameter should be of type Date.
If there is an error formatting the date, then the errorCallback executes with a GlobalizationError object as a parameter. The error's expected code is GlobalizationError.FORMATTING\_ERROR.
The options parameter is optional, and its default values are:
{formatLength:'short', selector:'date and time'}
The options.formatLength can be short, medium, long, or full.
The options.selector can be date, time or date and time.
If the browser is set to the en\_US locale, this displays 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' }
);
