@CharlesNov 29.2002 — #[font=georgia]There is a very real problem with the [font=monospace]mm/dd/yyyy[/font] format; it's not always possible to distinguish it from [font=monospace]dd/mm/yyyy[/font], another perfectly valid and common format. You're much better off using one of the standard date formats:
IETF: [font=monospace] Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 GMT[/font]
ISO 8601: [font=monospace] 1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00[/font]
ISO 8601 being the preferred format in HTML 4.01, you might want to use the later ( http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-datetime ) but the closest thing to a format that's guaranteed to work with the JavaScript [font=monospace]Date()[/font] constructor is the former. But if you want to be certain that your constructor will work (when JavaScript works) then use [font=monospace]Date(2002, 10, 29)[/font].[/font]
