Javascript GMT string convert to Local Time

Question

 $(function() {
    $('#datepicker').datepick({ 
        multiSelect: 999, 
        monthsToShow: 3,
        minDate: new Date(), 
                maxDate: '+1y', 
        showTrigger: '#calImg',
        dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',        
        onSelect: function(value) { 
            alert(value);
                } 
    });
 });

this code block returns a string like that "Wed Jan 11 2012 12:00:00 GMT+0100". How can I convert that string like that "2012-01-11 12:00:00"?

You can use this to covert to local time and get rid of GMT

function getLocalTimeFromGMT(sTime){ 
  var dte = new Date(sTime); 
  dte.setTime(dte.getTime() - dte.getTimezoneOffset()*60*1000);       
  document.write(dte.toLocaleString()); }

I have to correct you by saying that when you go and toLocaleString() it converts the time back to the local time. You could just stop on the line before. Get it? – luiscabus Oct 29 '13 at 09:09
