Tags: Javascript, Apple
I normally do dev for IE and primarly on and for a PC but....I have a need for this to work on a MAC.  It is erroring at the point of alert (resumeDate); translating the date to Fri Dec 13 1901 14:45:52 GMT -0600. Any ideas?

kelley_foust,
 
We have made several attempts to bring special attention to your question, but they have not been successful. At this point, you may want to consider deleting this question and re-submitting it.
 
You might consider using different, more appropriate zones for your question; please see http://www.experts-exchange.com/allTopics.jsp for a complete list. The more Zones (maximum of three) you post in, the more Experts will see your question.
 
You might consider including [more]/[less] information, keeping your question concise; extraneous information could have caused Experts to shy away from your question.
 
Please do not include information like "Help" or "Urgent" in the title. The question lists are truncated at about 40 characters, so adding those words does not help the Experts identify your problem and a solution.
 
A "Delete Question" link is in the body of your question (the actual first post that is displayed). Clicking on that link should automatically delete the question. There is a "Reason" textbox for you to complete and you can simply insert "No Solution" (or any other reason you like) and we will start the process.
 
Thank you for using Experts Exchange.

Does this problem only occur in Safari on Mac OS X? What about the Windows version of Safari? Which version of Safari?

this problem only occurs on Safari on a mac osX.  Safari on PC was fine.  Also Firefox on MAC was fine.

Your Mac uses a different time format which causes it to fail. To be standard, I think you should use one of these formats.
new Date("Month dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss")
new Date("Month dd, yyyy")
new Date(yy,mm,dd,hh,mm,ss)
new Date(yy,mm,dd)
new Date(milliseconds)

My personal preference goes to the third and fourth, because they are independent of client-computer's software.

HTH,
John
