How to parse a string in jQuery

I'd like to parse the following string which is a time (HH:MM:SS): 00:00:00

Does anyone know how I can get the Hour, Minute, or Seconds values?

Thank you!

var time = "00:00:00";
var parts = time.split(':');

alert("hours: " + parts[0] + ", minutes: " + parts[1] + ", seconds: ", + parts[2])

I'd probably go with the split(':') solution myself, but here's an interesting alternative using the native Date parsing:

var time = '00:23:54';

var date = new Date('1/1/1900 ' + time);

// 0
date.getHours();

// 23
date.getMinutes();

// 54
date.getSeconds();
