javascript - How to convert American date format to European

Question

from : 5/19/2011

to : 2011-05-19

I need it to raise an error when it finds that it cannot be real like 5/40/2011 etc. Are there any libraries that do it well?

Answer 1

maybe this is not best solution, but you can try the simple way like:

var from="5/19/2011";
var temp = from.split("/");
var to = temp[2] + "-" + temp[0] + "-" + temp[1];
