Convert UTC Date to datetime string Javascript

Question

I have a UTC date string, "2011-10-30T18:30:00Z", and I want to convert it to "2011-10-30 18:30". Can anyone give me some advice how to do this? I would appreciate for your time and consideration.

The easiest solution is to try the following:

var date = new Date("2011-10-30T18:30:00Z");

This will convert it into a normal Javascript date, at which point you can use whatever data operators you like.

In IE8 it returns NaN. >>new Date("2011-10-30T18:30:00Z").toString() "NaN" – Mr.Hunt Jan 04 '13 at 14:53

Interesting. Does `new Date(Date.parse("2011-10-30T18:30:00Z")).toString()` work in IE8? – NT3RP Jan 04 '13 at 16:02

no, it returns "NaN" as well. Infact, it fails while doing Date.parse – Mr.Hunt Jan 08 '13 at 13:57
