Javascript date format without timezone

I have a javascript variable which is defined from an input value.

$d = $('#date').val();
$myDateParts = $d.split("-");
$dflip = new Date($myDateParts[2], ($myDateParts[1]-1), $myDateParts[0]);
console.log($dflip);

$dflip = Wed Sep 19 00:00:00 UTC+0100 2012

How can i format the output to just:

Wed Sep 19

This may not be the cleanest, most efficient or best way to accomplish what you're looking for, but I created a function to return the date without the timezone. You can adjust the "theDate" variable to return only the parts of the date you want.

    function properDate(){  

    var d = new Date();

    var DayOfMonth = d.getDate();
    var DayOfWeek = d.getDay();
    var Month = d.getMonth();
    var Year = d.getFullYear();
    var Hours = d.getHours();
    var Minutes = d.getMinutes();
    var Seconds = d.getSeconds();

    switch (DayOfWeek) {
    case 0:
        day = "Sun";
        break;
    case 1:
        day = "Mon";
        break;
    case 2:
        day = "Tue";
        break;
    case 3:
        day = "Wed";
        break;
    case 4:
        day = "Thu";
        break;
    case 5:
        day = "Fri";
        break;
    case 6:
        day = "Sat";
        break;
    }

    switch (Month) {
    case 0:
        month = "Jan";
        break;
    case 1:
        month = "Feb";
        break;
    case 2:
        month = "Mar";
        break;
    case 3:
        month = "Apr";
        break;
    case 4:
        month = "May";
        break;
    case 5:
        month = "Jun";
        break;
    case 6:
        month = "Jul";
        break;
    case 7:
        month = "Aug";
        break;
    case 8:
        month = "Sep";
        break;
    case 9:
        month = "Oct";
        break;
    case 10:
        month = "Nov";
        break;
    case 11:
        month = "Dec";
        break;
    }




    var theDate = day + " " + month + " " + DayOfMonth + "  " + Year + " " + Hours + ":" + Minutes + ":" + Seconds;

    return theDate; 
}

Try with following code.

<script src="../../ui/jquery.ui.datepicker.js"></script>

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( "D M yy", dflip.val());

My DateExtentions library will do that - although it may be overkill if all you're doing is that one, simple format.

http://depressedpress.com/javascript-extensions/dp_dateextensions/

I can parse the date based on a passed mask and format the output however you like (it'll also do all sorts of date math and utility stuff so again, it might be heavier than you need).

You can do something using substring or toDateString or both

for e.g:

var dateString = new Date(2012, 0, 31).toDateString();
var noYear = dateString.substring(0, dateString.length-5);
console.log(noYear);
