So I have been facing this problem lately and I couldn't find a solution on Stack Overflow. I kind am not sure how to frame the question too. So I have a JS function which I am calling from a PHP page onclick and passing a date parameter to it.

<input type="image" src="images/addlog.png" style="width:14px;" onclick="return popuplog('."$mynewdate1".');">

On execution, the source code is

<input type="image" src="images/addlog.png" style="width:14px;" onclick="return popuplog(2012-08-19);">

Now the problem is this. Say the function is like

function popuplog(str)

{
alert(str);
}

Its displaying me a alert message with 1985 which is actually 2012 minus 08 minus 19! :P

I am not sure now how to fix this. I tried putting all sorts of quotes around the $mynewdate1 variable! Didn't work as much!

Quotes are not correct. If u can send me d complete PHP line with <input type="image" src="images/addlog.png" style="width:14px;" onclick="return popuplog('."$mynewdate1".');"> I can tell u which 1s to put where.

Arey the quotes are correct! This is the exact line!

echo '<td style="background-color:#f4f4f4;"><input type="image" src="images/addlog.png" style="width:14px;" onclick="return popuplog('."$mynewdate1".');"></td>';

I don't know PHP, but based on what you expect, you need to pass it a date object instead of a date string (or as is being passed an expression which is giving you the subtracted value when the quotes are not put).
something like return popuplog(new Date('2012-08-19'))

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function hello(date){
alert('hello '+date)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="hello(new Date('2012-08-26'))"/>
</body>
</html>

Good to see a post on techtalk after ages :)

Hey Peter,

Thanks, that worked. Actually initially it displayed 1 Jan 1970 everytime, and the source code seemed pretty fine. So then I just dropped the new worked and used

return popuplog(Date($mynewdate1)) instead. It worked. It alerts with the entire date time. Rest I cant get done.
