As someone mentioned earlier:
“45.You should probably update that download link up there with a newer version from SVN, it’s more than a year old now and many of the documented features (compare, isAfter, etc) are missing altogether.”

This looks like a great library and I hate complaining about awesome free software, but your website lists code examples that are up to date with the post alpha release, but there seems to be nowhere to download it.

I think maybe it is available here:
http://code.google.com/p/datejs/source/browse/trunk/#trunk/build

…but, I’m not sure. I’m trying to use the isAfter() function. I wouldn’t mind jumping through a few hoops to get to it, but a hint as to which hoops to jump through would be helpful.

Great work – thanks!

I too would like to see some way of supporting ISO 8601 dates – for me, I need a way to display Ordinal Dates.
Although I need only two digits for the year. (i.e. 10_025 insead of 2010_025)

ISO 8601 dates were mentioned in another comment above with the following links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

Hope there is a way for this, it would save me a headache!
Thanks!

Import and export.

while trying to use toString() i get into infinite loop which ends with too many recursion error. Do i something wrong or this could be bug? i don’t want to enter specific format, would like to have default behavior.

How can I change the default format of the dates from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd ?

If I type “5/11″ I want the ninja to understand that I mean Nov 5th, not May 11th.
The CultureInfo files don’t seem to have an option for this

Trying to use isBefore and does not appear to be a method. Using downloaded zip and (date-en-GB.js) as opposed to svn. Was this a recently added method or have I messed up?

When i Date.parse(‘Sun Aug 30 12:00:00 GMT 2009′), i get ‘Sun Aug 23 08:00:00 EDT 2009′…. everything is right except for the date, it should be 30th not the 23rd. I tried it on my local and on a salesforce server and i get the same result, except for when i try it on this website. Here is the very simple code i tried below.
/********************
$(document).ready(function() {
var text= ‘Sun Aug 30 12:00:00 GMT 2009′;
alert(Date.parse(text));
});
