Date formatting

Using the following:

var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));

I get:

Mon Feb 22 1993 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)

How do I format this too

22-02-1993

?

var month = date.getMonth();
date.getDate() + "-" + (month >= 10 ? month : '0' + month) + "-" + date.getFullYear();

You use the getFullYear, getMonth (note that the values start with 0), and getDate functions on the Date instance, then assemble a string. (Those links are to the specification, which can be hard to read; MDC does a bit better.)

Or use a library like DateJS (although it hasn't been maintained in quite some time) or as joidegn mentions, moment.js.

momentjs works nicely. NAtive Javascript unfortunately lacks somewhat in this regard although You could cocatenate the date elements together.
