Two steps: 1. Convert your string into a javascript date. 2. Call date.getTime().

Then multiply by 1,000 for milliseconds. – SimplyPanda Jun 14 '12 at 17:44
date.getTime() returns milliseconds. – Josh Jun 14 '12 at 17:46
Misunderstood something very basic, haven't I? Scratch that. – SimplyPanda Jun 14 '12 at 17:47
You will need to manually parse your date string. I'll post a jsfiddle for you shortly. – Josh Jun 14 '12 at 17:48
Thanks Josh that would be really helpful . – eagerToLearn Jun 14 '12 at 17:52
Your datetime format is odd, so its a little inelegant. It'll get you started though: http://jsfiddle.net/GUw8r/ – Josh Jun 14 '12 at 18:04
Thanks Josh . But After I convert this millisecond to date I got a different date, 1,362,629,520,000 is Wed Mar 06 23:12:00 EST 2013 – eagerToLearn Jun 14 '12 at 18:12
Oops. Forgot to subtract 1 from the year: http://jsfiddle.net/GUw8r/2/. Anyway, this should get you close enough to tweak to make sure it works right. – Josh Jun 14 '12 at 18:18
