Unix Timestamp conversion to JavaScript wrong output

Question

I am storing Unix Timestamp in Firebase server and it is saving as 1417780144675.

When I am converting epochconverter the output is:

Assuming that this timestamp is in milliseconds:
GMT: Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:49:04 GMT
Your time zone: 12/5/2014, 5:19:04 PM GMT+5:30

But when I am converting in JavaScript, the output is:

Fri Aug 30 46897 15:27:55 GMT+0530 (IST)

So output from epochconverter is correct whereas in JavaScript it's coming wrong.

Please how to get correct output using JavaScript.

Show us your JavaScript code please. We cannot say what you're doing wrong without seeing what you're doing. — Frank van Puffelen, Dec 05 '14 at 13:42

My guess is that you're looking for: `new Date(1417780144675).toUTCString()`, which returns "Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:49:04 GMT" (like the middle line of epochconverter). — Frank van Puffelen, Dec 05 '14 at 13:48
@FrankvanPuffelen, Thank you i have did in my code var datetime = new Date(data.created_at * 1000); Now its working fine with var datetime = new Date(data.created_at); — RubyOnRails, Dec 06 '14 at 04:56
Good to hear that you got it working. Next time be sure to include such a code snippet in your question, without it we're playing a guessing game. — Frank van Puffelen, Dec 06 '14 at 13:30

You should instanciate a new Date:

var date = new Date(1417780144675);

Output:

Fri Dec 05 2014 12:49:04 GMT+0100

Okay thank you i did like this var datetime = new Date(data.created_at * 1000); multiplied with 1000. Now it's working fine... – RubyOnRails Dec 06 '14 at 04:58
