Convert a date 2013-11-05 to Tuesday, 5th November, 2013 in JavaScript?

I have had a look at datejs, but I cant get it to output the correct format.

It outputs "Nov" instead of "November" and adds the time "00:00:00" onto the end of the conversion.

Date.parse('2013-11-05') outputs Tue Nov 05 2013 00:00:00

Any help would be great thanks.

You can do something like this

`

$(document).ready(function(){
var date=  new Date(); 
 var _strsplit= date.toDateString().split(" ");

 var Dayname=_strsplit[0];

 var MonthName=_strsplit[1];

 var Day=_strsplit[2];

 var Year=_strsplit[3];

 switch(Dayname)
 {

  case "Mon":
        Dayname="Monday";
        break;
         case "Tue":
        Dayname="Tuesday";
        break;

         case "Wed":
        Dayname="Wednesday";
        break;
         case "Thr":
        Dayname="Thrusday";
        break;
   case "Fri":
        Dayname="Friday";
        break;
         case "Sat":
        Dayname="Saturday";
        break;
         case "Sun":
        Dayname="Sunday";
        break;

 }
 switch(MonthName)
 {

 case "Nov":
      MonthName="Novemeber";
      break;

//do same for month's

 }

 document.write(Dayname +" "+MonthName+" "+Day+" "+Year);



}); 
</script>`

Date.parse is not reliable in pre-ES5 or with formats outside a simplified version of ISO8601. In addition, Date.toDateString is also implementation-dependent.

I prefer Moment.js because it's small, well-documented, and quite robust - plus, I dislike writing date parsing and formatting by hand. Something like this (fiddle) ought to do the job:

var m = moment('2013-11-05')
var str = m.format('dddd, Do MMMM, YYYY')

(Moment.js also supports localization, if you're into that sort of thing.)
