javascript - Date constructor returns NaN in IE, but works in Firefox and Chrome

Question

I'm trying to build a little calendar in JavaScript. I have my dates working great in Firefox and Chrome, but in IE the date functions are returning NaN.

Here is the function :

function buildWeek(dateText){
    var headerDates='';
    var newDate = new Date(dateText);

    for(var d=0;d<7;d++){
        headerDates += '<th>' + newDate + '</th>';
        newDate.setDate(newDate.getDate()+1);
    }                       

    jQuery('div#headerDates').html('<table><tr>'+headerDates+'</tr></table>');
}

dateText is the Monday of the current week which is actually set in php in the format of 'm, d, Y', e.g. "02, 01, 2010".

Answer 1

From a mysql datetime/timestamp format:

var dateStr="2011-08-03 09:15:11"; //returned from mysql timestamp/datetime field
var a=dateStr.split(" ");
var d=a[0].split("-");
var t=a[1].split(":");
var date = new Date(d[0],(d[1]-1),d[2],t[0],t[1],t[2]);

I hope is useful for someone. Works in IE FF Chrome
