var stringDate    Sunday  February 28  2010    var months     January    February    March       You add the rest   -   var m      w     d      d    exec stringDate    var date   new Date  m 3   months indexOf m 1     m 2      The indexOf method on arrays is only supported on newer browsers  i e  not IE   You ll need to do the searching yourself or use one of the many libraries that provide the same functionality    Also the code is lacking any error checking which should be added   String not matching the regular expression  non existent months  etc

If you only need it once  it s overkill to load a plugin   For a date  dd mm yyyy   this works for me   new Date d date substring 6  10  d date substring 3  5 -1 d date substring 0  2         Just invert month and day for mm dd yyyy  the syntax is new Date y m d

I would grab date js or else you will need to roll your own formatting function

If you re running with jQuery you can use the datepicker UI library s parseDate function to convert your string to a date   var d     datepicker parseDate  DD  MM dd  yy     Sunday  February 28  2010      and then follow it up with the formatDate method to get it to the string format you want  var datestrInNewFormat     datepicker formatDate   mm dd yy   d     If you re not running with jQuery of course its probably not the best plan given you d need jQuery core as well as the datepicker UI module     best to go with the suggestion from Segfault above to use date js   HTH
