Convert GMT time to local time

Question

Am getting a GMT time from my server in this format

Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:38:23 GMT

My requirement is to convert this time to local time using J

Answer 1

This worked for me:

<script>
var strDateTime = "Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:38:23 GMT";
var myDate = new Date(strDateTime);
alert(myDate.toLocaleString());
</script>

Please take a look at http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp for all further date time manipulations, from the date object myDate.
