Date.parse () results in NaN

Question

Date.parse(); 

My jsFiddle works fine, but run it in my ideal (both Aptana and WebStorm) shows NaN in console.log() output.

Really confused about this ... Has anyone had such an experience before?

Try it:

 var firstDayTimestamp = Date.parse("2009/07/13 00:00:00" + "-0500") / 1000; 

Hope this matches the case! B-)

Answer 2

The date must be in the IETF date syntax format (RFC2822, section 3.3), for example, Mon, December 25, 1995 13:30:00 GMT or Mon, December 25, 1995 13:30:00 GMT + 0430 ".

Surprisingly, this should also be done for the current (2017) versions of IE (11.x) and FF (56.x) so that Date.parse works correctly.
