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, successCallback, errorCallback, options);
Returns the date to the success callback with a properties object as a parameter. That object should have the following properties:
year: The four digit year. (Number)
month: The month from (0-11). (Number)
day: The day from (1-31). (Number)
hour: The hour from (0-23). (Number)
minute: The minute from (0-59). (Number)
second: The second from (0-59). (Number)
millisecond: The milliseconds (from 0-999), not available on all platforms. (Number)
The inbound dateString parameter should be of type String.
The options parameter is optional, and defaults to the following values:
{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 there is an error parsing the date string, then the errorCallback executes with a GlobalizationError object as a parameter. The error's expected code is GlobalizationError.PARSING\_ERROR.
When the browser is set to the en\_US locale, this displays 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 array 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'}
);
