javascript - Invalid date in safari

Question

 alert(new Date('2010-11-29'));

chrome, ff doesn't have problems with this, but safari cries "invalid date". Why ?

edit : ok, as per the comments below, I used string parsing and tried this :

alert(new Date('11-29-2010')); //doesn't work in safari
alert(new Date('29-11-2010')); //doesn't work in safari
alert(new Date('2010-29-11')); //doesn't work in safari

edit Mar 22 2018 : Seems like people are still landing here - Today, I would use moment or date-fns and be done with it. Date-fns is very much pain free and light as well.

Answer 1

For me implementing a new library just because Safari cannot do it correctly is too much and a regex is overkill. Here is the oneliner:

console.log (new Date('2011-04-12'.replace(/-/g, "/")));
