Format JavaScript date as yyyy-mm-dd

Question

I have a date with the format Sun May 11,2014. How can I convert it to 2014-05-11 using JavaScript?

Answer 1

function myYmd(D){
    var pad = function(num) {
        var s = '0' + num;
        return s.substr(s.length - 2);
    }
    var Result = D.getFullYear() + '-' + pad((D.getMonth() + 1)) + '-' + pad(D.getDate());
    return Result;
}

var datemilli = new Date('Sun May 11,2014');
document.write(myYmd(datemilli));
