    It's not clear what you're asking. Are you looking for a specific format, or are you trying to convert between time zones? Will this do: `new Date("2010-07-12T00:00:00").toUTCString()` ? – David Hedlund Jun 07 '16 at 12:33

    UTC is a standard, not a format. The string is in an ISO 8601 format. As has no time zone, it will represent a different moment in time depending on the time zone assumed in conversion (whether the assumed time zone is UTC/GMT or any other). – RobG Jun 07 '16 at 12:59

<!DOCTYPE html>

<body>

  <p id="demo"></p>

  <script>
    var d = new Date("2010-07-12T00:00:00");
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d;
  </script>

</body>

</html>

Something like this maybe?

new Date("2010-07-12T00:00:00").toUTCString();

    No, not like that. The string may be parsed as UTC, local or an invalid date by browsers in use. – RobG Jun 07 '16 at 12:55
