Am getting a GMT time from my server in this format
Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:38:23 GMT
My requirement is to convert this time to local time using Javascript, eg:/ if the user is from India, first i need to take the time zone +5.30 and add that to my servertime and convert the time string to the following format
2013-10-18 16:37:06
I tried with following code but not working
var date = new Date('Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:38:23 GMT');
date.toString();
Please help me to solve this issue, Thanks in advance
This worked for me:
<script>
var strDateTime = "Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:38:23 GMT";
var myDate = new Date(strDateTime);
alert(myDate.toLocaleString());
</script>
Please take a look at http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp for all further date time manipulations, from the date object myDate.
