Is the Javascript date object always one day off?

Question

In my Java Script app I have the date stored in a format like so:

2011-09-24

Now when I try using the above value to create a new Date obje

Answer 1

It means 2011-09-24 00:00:00 GMT, and since you're at GMT -4, it will be 20:00 the previous day.

Personally, I get 2011-09-24 02:00:00, because I'm living at GMT +2.
