how can i convert string type of data into date using java script or jquery, i searched from lots of websites, but all are not working properly, i have written like as follows:

var actualdate = $(this).find('td').eq(0).text().trim();//coming date in the form of 12-sep-2014[all dates from database]

var parts = actualdate.split('-');
var converteddate = new Date(parts[2],parts[1],parts[0]);

if i display the value of converteddate in alert, it is showing "invalid date!!!"

and after conversion i should identify number of days between that converted date and todays date, so that if those days are crossed 30 days from todays date i need to display some alert msg, please help me to solve this,

JavaScript

/********* Your code *****************/
var parts = actualdate.split('-');
var converteddate = new Date(parts[2],parts[1],parts[0]);
 
//if i display the value of converteddate in alert, it is showing "invalid date!!!"

/*======Solution:
I think you are pass invalid arguments in above mention code other wise if you pass valid data it should work and working i have test.
*/
var str = "05/06/2014";
var dt =new Date(str);
//you can use this to get separate date month and year. 
dt.getDate()+"-"+(dt.getMonth()+1)+"-"+dt.getFullYear();

if any issue then let me know.

JavaScript

function customParse(str) {
  var months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun',
                'Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'],
      n = months.length, re = /(\d{2})-([a-z]{3})-(\d{4})/i, matches;

  while(n--) { months[months[n]]=n; } // map month names to their index :)

  matches = str.match(re); // extract date parts from string

  return new Date(matches[3], months[matches[2]], matches[1]);
}

This function will return the actual date from your date string and then you can compare two dates

JavaScript

customParse("19-Aug-2010") > customParse("18-Aug-2010");
