Default Date Value on Safari

[Amanda Collins]

I'm using mobiscroll date scroller in an app. I have it set up to initialize to a date I get from the database and set as the value of my input field. Here is my code:

$(function(){

$("#requestDate").scroller({ 

preset: 'date',

theme: 'jqm',

display: 'modal',

mode: 'scroller',

dateOrder: 'mdyyyy',

dateFormat: 'm/d/yyyy'

});

var requestDate = $("#requestDate").val();

if(requestDate != ""){

requestDate = new Date(requestDate);

$("#requestDate").scroller('setDate', requestDate, true);

} 

});

Here is my form field:

<input type="text" name="requestDate" id="requestDate" data-role="mobiscroll" value="2013,7,25" data-mini="true" readonly="" class="ui-input-text ui-body-f ui-corner-all ui-shadow-inset ui-mini">

This shows the date formatted in the text input and defaults to that date when mobiscroll is opened. Except for in Safari. In safari the date shows as NaN/NaN/NaN. How do I fix this?

Thanks!
