alert(new Date(1273185387).toUTCString());

Answer 3

Try the below code...

    var myDate = new Date( your epoch date *1000);
    alert(myDate.toGMTString());
    var mytime=myDate.toGMTString()

Answer 4

jQuery doesn't have anything for it, but that's okay, because JavaScript does. The Date constructor accepts a milliseconds-since-the-Epoch value, so in your case (since that looks like a seconds value) it would be:

var dt = new Date(obj.date_created * 1000);

...where obj is the result of deserializing that JSON string.

Details in Section 15.9.3.2 of the specification. Alternately, the MDC page is useful.
