JavaScript Date.parse() method

　JavaScript Date Object

Date.parse() method accepts a date string (e.g., "Jul 30, 1992)), and returns1970 years1Month1Milliseconds since midnight of the day.

This feature is very useful for setting date values based on string values, such as combining the setTime() method with a Date object.

Since parse() is a static method of Date, you should always use it as Date.parse().

Syntax:

Date.parse(dateString)

var d = Date.parse("July　30,　1992");

Browser compatibility

All browsers fully support the parse() method:
