How do I format a Microsoft JSON date?

Question

I\'m taking my first crack at Ajax with jQuery. I\'m getting my data onto my page, but I\'m having some trouble with the JSON data that is returned for Date data types. Basi

Answer 1

You can use this to get a date from JSON:

var date = eval(jsonDate.replace(/\/Date\((\d+)\)\//gi, "new Date($1)"));

And then you can use a JavaScript Date Format script (1.2 KB when minified and gzipped) to display it as you want.
