2Seems to me the part you want just happens to be the first 15 characters of the longer date string, so can't you just use a string function like `.substr()` or `.slice()`? (Though it's not clear just how you're getting that longer date string given that `Date.parse()` returns a *number*. **Show your code.**) – nnnnnn Jan 22 '15 at 06:50

beware that in negative GMT timezones will return the day before – charlietfl Jan 22 '15 at 06:59

I looked at it briefly and i can see the problem occurs not with your code but a leaky abstraction that is you graphing plugin. I'm not gonna spend too much time on that sorry :( I would like to mention that the Date.parse(string) method that you've chosen to use generate a UNIX time which is a NUMBER a very big number counting the amount of milliseconds from 1970. The graphing system you use converts this number into a readable date by it's own conventions. But it's really up to the plugin to decouple that convention. Lastly you should look at FLOT if this is no go. http://www.flotcharts.org/ – CyberFox Jan 25 '15 at 18:35
