Creating new date using Javascript gives Invalid Date in IE11

I'm creating a new date object in Javascript and it throws Invalid Date error in IE11.

It runs fine on Chrome and Firefox though. Any idea what can be wrong?

new Date()
[date] Thu Sep 22 2016 12:24:33 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)[date] Thu Sep 22 2016 12:24:33 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
[functions]
__proto__[date] Invalid Date

Where do you see that it throws? The console displays a Date instance. The __proto__ property of this instance is an invalid date, but you should not care about that at all, it's part of the internal implementation.

Try new Date().toString(), you should get a valid string representation of your date, which means that all is fine.

It actually returns a date object where as the __proto__ (prototype) alone says "Invalid Date" which is as per the ES5 Date specification which goes like this,

The Date prototype object is itself a Date object (its [[Class]] is "Date") whose [[PrimitiveValue]] is NaN.

Hope this helps
