new Date("May 27, 2011, 1:00 pm EEST")
Firebug answer:
Date {Invalid Date}
Is this a known javascript bug? how do you interpret east european daylight saving time zone in javascript with date?
I can change the time zone to +03: 00 or +0300, for example, but then it will not be as user friendly, because im using <abbr> and with jQuery I will format each abbreviation innerHTML, what is its value in the header, so when you hover over it, I still want the tooltip to display "May 27, 2011, 13:00 EEST", but in innerHTML I only need to "May 27, 2011"
<abbr class="timestamp blue" title="May 27, 2011, 1:00 pm EEST">May 27, 2011</abbr>
However, due to EEST, I get this
<abbr class="timestamp blue" title="May 27, 2011, 1:00 pm EEST">NaN</abbr>
If I change EEST to something more common, like EST or GMT, then there is no problem, itโs strange.
