The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
Some of the answers given here are either overcomplicated or just will not work (at least, not in all browsers). If you take a step back, you can see that the MySQL timestamp has each component of time in the same order as the arguments required by the Date() constructor.
ReplyDeleteAll that's needed is a very simple split on the string:
// Split timestamp into [ Y, M, D, h, m, s ]
var t = "2010-06-09 13:12:01".split(/[- :]/);
// Apply each element to the Date function
var d = new Date(t[0], t[1]-1, t[2], t[3], t[4], t[5]);
alert(d);
// -> Wed Jun 09 2010 13:12:01 GMT+0100 (GMT Daylight Time)
To add to the excellent Andy E answer a function of common usage could be:
ReplyDeleteDate.createFromMysql = function(mysql_string)
{
if(typeof mysql_string === 'string')
{
var t = mysql_string.split(/[- :]/);
//when t[3], t[4] and t[5] are missing they defaults to zero
return new Date(t[0], t[1] - 1, t[2], t[3] || 0, t[4] || 0, t[5] || 0);
}
return null;
}
In this way given a MySQL date/time in the form "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" or even the short form (only date) "YYYY-MM-DD" you can do:
var d1 = Date.createFromMysql("2011-02-20");
var d2 = Date.createFromMysql("2011-02-20 17:16:00");
alert("d1 year = " + d1.getFullYear());
are you in php?
ReplyDeletevar dateString = <? echo "'2000-09-10 00:00:00';"; ?>
var myDate = new Date(dateString);
Why not do this:
ReplyDeletevar d = new Date.parseDate( "2000-09-10 00:00:00", 'Y-m-d H:i:s' );
