Convert date string to date

I have a string Mar 7 2012.

How do I convert this to a Date object, so I can use mydate.getDate(), mydate.getMonth(), mydate.getFullYear() etc?

I'd use Date.parse in conjunction with Date#setTime. For example:

var d = new Date();
d.setTime(Date.parse("Mar 7 2012"));

You've pretty good reference docs in mozilla's dev. network: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

Well, Its pretty simple

var d =new Date("March 7 2012");
document.write(d.getMonth()); //use it
