Date.parse();
My jsFiddle works fine, but run it in my ide (both Aptana and WebStorm) shows NaN in the console.log() output.
Really confused about this... Has someone had such experience before?

Because some browsers accept dates in particular format only. Some formats may run in one but not in other. – Jashwant Jul 17 '12 at 05:16

I think that's the beauty of JavaScript, I just start to get used to it... – sozhen Jul 17 '12 at 05:21

Good read: Jquery Date.parse returning NaN in Chrome browser? or https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
Try this:
var firstDayTimestamp = Date.parse("2009/07/13 00:00:00" + "-0500") / 1000;
Hope this fits the cause! B-)

1`-` is also recognized by IE11 and Edge. I encountered this issue and decided to not to use Date.parse at all. Just as MDN recommends. – Danila Shutov Apr 05 '16 at 09:24

Hiya `:)` @DanilaShutov Interesting, do you know any official docs reference? – Tats_innit Apr 05 '16 at 22:16

1@Tats_innit, see note for 'dateString' parameter. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date – Danila Shutov Apr 08 '16 at 08:11

The date should be in the IETF date syntax (RFC2822 Section 3.3) format, e.g. "Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT", or "Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT+0430".
Read more: Date.parse()
Surprisingly this should be done also for the current (2017) versions of IE (11.x) and FF (56.x) for the Date.parse to work correctly.

Date.parse will not work for format dd/mm/yyyy so when format is dd/mm/yyyy 0r dd-mm-yyyy just reverse it
var char = date.charAt(2);//return '/' or '-'
Date.parse(date.split(char).reverse().join(char));
it wil change format to yyyy/mm/dd and parse it
