    <p>I have been reading up on dates for days, seemingly going in circles here. I have a string in a DB that looks like this</p> <pre><code>2012,03,13,01,31,38 </code></pre> <p>I want to create a js date object from it so...</p> <pre><code>new Date(2012,03,13,01,31,38); </code></pre> <p>Easy enough, right? But it comes back as</p> <pre><code>2012-04-13 05:31:38 +0000 </code></pre> <p>So the month is off by 1 and the time is off by 4 hours (maybe DST or Timezone related???). I simply want a date that matches the one I provided. Its driving me nuts, dealing with these JS date objects.</p> <p>How can I be sure the date object is the exact same date and time as the string suggests, I have no need for Timezone or DST changes, simply a date that matches a string.</p> <p>More specifics regarding application: My application for this need is for an iphone app I am developing in Titanium (which builds using JS). Basically, part of my app involves logging data and with that log I collect the device's current date and time. I save all of this information to a mySQL database. The field in the database looks like this format: "2012-02-16 00:12:32"</p> <p>Here is where I start to run into problems. I am now offering the ability to edit the log, including the date and time it was logged. In order to use an iPhone "picker", I must convert the string above into a JS date object again. This usually screws things up for me. I essentially need to create a new date object with the date above, with timezone and dst being completely irrelevant, so that when I save back to the DB, its just the string above, modified as per the users request. It needs to not matter whether they are editing in pennsylvania or china, they are editing the same log date.</p> <p>Sorry if this has been confusing. I am having a hard time figuring out this whole date stuff.</p>

    1. COA Date object has more than one toString() method. Just use the output format which was implicitly used for your input, and you won't get into timezone troubles.

    2. COHow are you trying to print out this string? Just typing in `new Date(...)` in the console works as expected in both Firefox and IE9 - it displays something like "Fri Apr 13 2012 01:31:38".

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.
