Switching Date Format

[millsy007]

I have recently changed my page so my date that is held in a textbox is in the European Format, ie DD/MM/YYYY

 

The problem is all of my other javascript functions expect it in the 'normal' format.

Is there a way I can change the format I now have it in back, so:

datevariable = document.getElementById('date').value;

switches back from dd/MM/yyyy to MM/dd/yyyy

Might be an easier way, but this will work. You can use it to covnert back and forth. Whatever format you are inputting you will get the opposite out.

 

function reverseDayMonth(dateStr)
{
    dateArr = dateStr.split('/');
    return dateArr[1]+'/'+dateArr[0]+'/'+dateArr[2];
}
