Date.js Parseexact() Not Parsing 4 Digit Years When Passed In As An Array

Am I missing something with Date.parseExact() in date.js? According to the api documentation, I should be able to do this: Date.parseExact('10/15/2004', ['M/d/yyyy', 'MMMM d, yyyy

Solution 1:

It appears date.js is attempting to parse the four-digit year as a two-digit year, failing, and returning null on failure.

To prevent this, switch your masks around so it tries the four-digit masks first:

$(function () {
     $('#FCSaleDate').change(function (e) {
         var d = Date.parseExact($(this).val(),["MMddyyyy","MMddyy","M/d/yyyy","M/d/yy"]);
         alert(d.toString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
     });

});
