Javascript Date can not support in firefox browser

Question

 var time_in = data[i].timeIn;//data[i].timeIn= 2015-04-18 1:00:30
 time_in = new Date(time_in);

In Firefox, the result of time_in in console is → Date {Invalid Date}.

In Chrome, the result of time_in in console is → Sat Apr 18 2015 01:00:30 GMT+0630 (Myanmar Standard Time)

@DanyalSandeelo See the comment in his code example. Use `new Date("2015-04-18 1:00:30")` to test. — Mörre, May 18 '15 at 06:44

If you want all browsers to parse the date correctly use a ISO 8601 formatted date or use a date parser like [moment js](http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/) — Arun P Johny, May 18 '15 at 06:47

The date you have given as a parameter is invalid, though browsers may try to interpret it either way.

You should use either RFC2822, or ISO 8601 format instead, it works better in cross-browser situations. For example, this would be a date in ISO 8601 format:

2015-04-18T01:00:30+0630

By the way, the ISO 8601 format must be valid in an ECMAScript 5 complaint environment.

This is the correct answer and not just do `new Date(year,month,...)` .stick to _UNIVERSAL EXACT FORMATS_ – Royi Namir May 18 '15 at 06:47

Technically, the date is not invalid, just as parameter to `Date()` ;-) – Mackan May 18 '15 at 06:49
I meant from the point of the ECMAScript specs, but you are right. – meskobalazs May 18 '15 at 06:50
Just to mention ([_ISO Date Format is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 standards mode_](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ff743760(v=vs.94).aspx#ISO)) – Royi Namir May 18 '15 at 06:55

Please Try this

new Date();
new Date(value);
new Date(dateString);
new Date(year, month[, day[, hour[, minutes[, seconds[, milliseconds]]]]]);

You can learn about this function from following link
