    Hi Mate,

    i have this line of code that returns an "Invalid Date" error

    //calendar textfield contains this format: 11-23-2017
    //and i want that to be on this format: 2017-11-23 to be able to return the correct date format.

    var txtdate = $("#calendar").val().split("-").reverse().join("-");
    var now = new Date(txtdate);
    alert(now);

    can you tell what im doing wrong?

    Thank you

    The split is breaking them ALL up.. as such your output is 2017-23-11, which is an invalid date. Split is annoying in that if you set the limit you're going to end up with the values screwed up, so what you'll have to do is:

    
var
  dateArray = $('#calendar').val().split('-'),
  now = new Date(dateArray[2] + '-' + dateArray[0] + '-' + dateArray[1]);
alert(now);
