This format works with Chrome, Firefox and Safari:

const epochTime = Date.parse('2020/11/24 15:30')

don't replace the '-' with '/', use whitespace instead.

var str = "05-Sep-2013 01:05:15 PM ";
console.log( Date.parse( str.replace(/-/g, ' ') ) );

that works for me in IE

have a look at w3schools - they're working with whitespaces :)

It is kind of odd, but a working solution for me is-

var str = "05-Sep-2013 01:05:15 PM ";
console.log( Date.parse( str.replace("-", " ") ) );
