parsing date from variable

[Gids]

Hi,

I am using date.js as part of a greasemonkey script and want it to
parse a date from the target page which I have set in a variable.
However, I can't seem to get this to work.

My current code looks like:

var d1 = Date.parse(myvariablename);
alert(d1.toString('dddd, MMMM d, yyyy'));

However, this doesn't seem to use the string from the variable. Sure I
am missing something pretty basic, but any guidance would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Gids

Hi Gids,

You code looks correct.

What is object type of "myvariablename"?

If a string, can you post a sample of the variable value?

Hmm, the variable is a string and it is working for me now, so I think
it was some other error in my code.
