    <p>I have this code in an HTML page:</p> <pre><code>alert(JSON.stringify(new Date())); </code></pre> <p>I'm including the latest <a href="https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js" rel="noreferrer">json2.js</a> (2009-09-29 version) in my page to support older browsers without JSON.stringify(). I also have jquery-1.3.2.js included. I believe in newer browsers with native JSON support, it just passes through to the native JSON feature.</p> <p>Here's the results I get in different browsers:</p> <pre><code>IE 8 on Windows XP: "2010-02-07T21:39:32Z" Chrome 4.0 on Windows XP: "2010-02-07T21:39:59Z" Firefox 3.0 of Windows XP: "2010-02-07T21:40:41Z" Chrome 4.0 on Ubuntu linux: "2010-02-07T21:41:49Z" Firefox 3.0 on Ubuntu linux: "2010-02-07T21:42:44Z" Chrome 4.0 on Mac OSX: "2010-02-07T21:43:56Z" Safari on Mac OSX: "2010-02-07T21:45:21Z" Firefox 3.5 on Mac OSX: "2010-02-07T21:44:10.101Z" </code></pre> <p>Notice the last one? It contains milliseconds, and none of the others do. I don't have FF3.5 installed on any other systems, but I'm assuming they would have the same results.</p> <p>Is there something I can do to make all dates on all platforms stringify the same? My backend REST service can be configured with a format string to deserialize JSON dates, but it can't support multiple formats, just one.</p>

    1. COFWIW, I just tested FF 3.6 on Win7 and it also gives milliseconds.

    3. COWow, they implemented it this way few years ago?! I'm surprised this hasn't caused more problems. I appreciate trying to be standards conformant, but if everything else is doing it another way, at least give a configuration option to fallback.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
