Can you tell me why this is not working on Firefox (V 34 latest) ? It's working fine on all other browsers. 'DatePosted' is shown as Invalid Date.Why ? Any help would be highly appreciated. 

 //Get local time for everything:
       data.Comments.forEach(function (x) {
         x.DatePosted = new Date(x.DatePosted.toString().replace("T", " ") + " UTC");
      });

enter image description here

Note : x.DatePosted : "2014-11-18T08:06:39.06"

    why do you need the .replace("T"," ") inside the constructor call of Date? It should work with-out it. – AWolf Dec 02 '14 at 17:49

You dont need to replace the T. It works without it (tested in Chrome and Firefox).

After setting the Date object, get it into UTC.

Working snippet below:

var myDate = new Date("2014-11-18T08:06:39.06");

// now set it to UTC
var myDateinUTC = Date.UTC(myDate.getFullYear(), myDate.getMonth(), myDate.getDate(), myDate.getHours(), myDate.getMinutes(), myDate.getSeconds(), myDate.getMilliseconds());

console.dir(myDateinUTC);

var myNewDate = new Date(myDateinUTC);

console.log(myNewDate.getMonth()); // just to test
