Date conversion

[jleich]

binding some data to a componentart datagrid. the date comes in as yymmdd (120312) and for display I do a string format "MM/dd/yyyy". If a user has selected an item in the grid I use a javascript function to loop through the items and build an xml string to update some database records. When getting to the date column it shows Mon Mar 12 00:00:00 CST 2012. Want to reformat that to MM/dd/yyyy before sending off to database. Help??

You can use the various methods of the Date object to format it however you want: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp

Thanks! I did end up with getting what I wanted with below...if (newAtt.name == "InvoiceDate") {var now = new Date(gridItem.get_cells().Value);var curr_date = now.getDate();var curr_month = now.getMonth();curr_month++;var curr_year = now.getFullYear();newAtt.nodeValue = curr_month + "/" + curr_date + "/" + curr_year;
