Javascript Date parse

Question

In javascript Date.parse('2015-04-02') returns 1427932800000 which is the same result as Date.parse('2015-04-02 03:00:00'), what can explain this behaviour?

`Date.parse('2015-04-02')` returns `1427932800000` and `Date.parse('2015-04-02 03:00:00')` returns `1427923800000` for me. Definitely, your timezone would be +3:00. — Jashwant, Apr 02 '15 at 08:16

The Date depends on your local timezone. but the returned number is un UTC. if you want to convert you can do (I think) :

var date = new Date('2015-04-02 03:00:00')
date.setMinutes(-date.getTimezoneOffset())

BTW be careful using the "-" separator it is not recognized by firefox – DARK_DUCK Apr 02 '15 at 08:19
on my browser chrome(42) Date.UTC() returns NaN – constant.oduol Apr 02 '15 at 08:21
And what if you user new Date() instead of date.Parse ? – DARK_DUCK Apr 02 '15 at 08:29
I changed the code, you should try. It worked with my timezone (UTC+1) – DARK_DUCK Apr 02 '15 at 08:35
i think it should be +date.getTimezoneOffset() to return it to 2015-04-02 00:00:00 – constant.oduol Apr 02 '15 at 09:33
