convert a string 11/28/2014 11:00 am to date in JavaScript

Question

I want to parse to Date in javaScript this 11/28/2014 11:00 am.

I tried new Date("String") = NaN and

fecha_iniString=" 11/28/2014 11:00 am"
var dateString    = fecha_iniString.match(/\d{4}\/\d{2}\/\d{2}\s+\d{2}:\d{2}/);
var dt            = new Date(dateString);
alert(dt);

The alert window shows

wef dec 31 19:00:00 EST 1969

Maybe you should look at this: [converting string to date in js](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5619202/converting-string-to-date-in-js) — Backs, Dec 12 '14 at 13:23
Also, the regex looks for "dddd/dd/dd" but your string is "dd/dd/dddd". — JJJ, Dec 12 '14 at 13:24
Also also, the regex completely ignores the am/pm part of the string. — JJJ, Dec 12 '14 at 13:25
@JamesDonnelly And IE 11, and Firefox 31. Which browser doesn't it work on? — James Hunt, Dec 12 '14 at 13:25
forget `Date.parse` - `var d = new Date(); d.setTime(Date.parse("11/28/2014 11:00 am"));` What format u need ? — Evgeniy, Dec 12 '14 at 13:26

You need Date.parse

var dateStr = "11/28/2014 11:00 am",
    date = new Date(), 
    date.setTime(Date.parse(dateStr));

var formDate = new Date(date);

console.log(formDate);
