google chrome - JavaScript Date not working properly in IE8 -

this question has answer here:

• javascript json date parse in ie7/ie8 returns nan 5 answers

chrome showing result expected ie-8 giving nan when execute following:

chrome:

d = new date("2014 12 01") // results mon dec 01 2014 00:00:00 gmt+0500 (pakistan standard time) 

ie-8:

d = new date("2014 12 01") // results nan undefined 

the format you're trying parse doesn't match the specific format new date required parse. parse reliably cross-browser, need parse explicitly — either in own code, can trivially done regex, or using library momentjs , telling format is.

the trivial regex solution:

// note! uses local time.  var yourstring = "2014 12 01";  var parts = yourstring.match(/^(\d{4}) (\d{2}) (\d{2})$/);  if (parts) {    var date = new date(+parts[1], +parts[2] - 1, +parts[3]);    alert(date.tostring());  }
