Convert Datetime String To Utc In Javascript

How can we convert datetime string to UTC in javascript. We are getting following JSON from REST service [ { 'CreationTime':'June 2, 2015 8:04:53 PM IST', 'categ

Solution 1:

Using toUTCString():

var toUTC = newDate("June 2, 2015 8:04:53").toUTCString()

In Javascript you can use this method to convert a date from a Date() object, but not from a IST string. So you need format this string to a Date() object , then you can convert it to UTC. In this topic says what I mean.

Note If you try June 2, 2015 8:04:53 PM IST JavasScript take it as invalid date, for that you have to use .replace() function to remove the IST part of the string.
