Safari Javascript Date() NaN Issue (yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss)

by

To make your question easier your problem is with:

new Date('2014-02-18 15:00:48')

This work okay in chrome but not in safari. The mdn talks about ECMAScript 5 ISO-8601 format support says:

Alternatively, the date/time string may be in ISO 8601 format. For
example, “2011-10-10” (just date) or “2011-10-10T14:48:00” (date and
time) can be passed and parsed.

If you include T it works:

new Date('2014-02-18T15:00:48')

You can use new Date('2014-02-18T15:00:48'.replace(/\s/, 'T')).

If you handle a lot of cases like this I will recommend using moment which seems to handle this case very well with or without T: parsing from string. Additionally your whole example is easier with momentjs:

var minutes = moment().diff("2014-02-18 15:00:48", 'minutes');
