Split Date (month, day, year) using Javascript

Firstly thanks to DigitalPoint and its users for providing me many help and solution previously.

I have a new problem. I have the following form that have a date field with date vale.

<form name="signup" onsubmit="return Valid(this);">
<input type="text" name="date" value="09/22/2011">
<input type="submit">
</form>

I need a JavaScript that will take the date value on form submit and split it to 3 parts (such as month, day, year) and then return.
So that I can insert separately these 3 parts in my MySql table (3 fields) during the form submit.

Like bellow:
Month Day Year
------ ----- ------
09 22 2011

 

This should be done by server side... But if you need this functionallity in javascript, you can use:

var foo = "09/22/2011";
var arr = foo.split("/");
alert(arr[0])
alert(arr[1])
alert(arr[2])

Code (markup):

 

Yea, I think using PHP would be best for this, but if you are using a JS calendar or any other type of JS to handle it then you will want to use the .split function like in the example above.

 

I have some code like below, What is wrong on it ? I am getting error.

onClick: function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://www.mysite.com/data.php',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {



var res = [];
for (var i in data) {
var rows = data;


res.push({
event_id: rows[0],
event_name: rows[1],
date: rows[2],
venue:rows[3],
url:rows[4],

});

var eventdate = $data.date;
var splitdate = eventdate.split("-");
year = splitdate[0],
month = splitdate[1],
day = splitdate[2]
if (month == 01) {
month = "Jan"
}
if (month == 02) {
month = "Feb"
}

if (month == 03) {
month = "Mar"
}

var newDate = year - month - day;
}
viewModel.dSource(res);
}
});
}
