JavaScript’s getDate returns wrong date

by

The Date.parse method is implementation dependent (new Date(string) is equivalent to Date.parse(string)).

While this format will be available on modern browsers, you cannot be 100% sure that the browser will interpret exactly your desired format.

I would recommend you to manipulate your string, and use the Date constructor with the year, month and day arguments:

// parse a date in yyyy-mm-dd format
function parseDate(input) {
  var parts = input.match(/(\d+)/g);
  // new Date(year, month [, date [, hours[, minutes[, seconds[, ms]]]]])
  return new Date(parts[0], parts[1]-1, parts[2]); // months are 0-based
}
