RangeError: Invalid time value (V8-based) RangeError: invalid date (Firefox) RangeError: Invalid Date (Safari)
A string leading to an invalid date has been provided to Date
or Date.parse()
.
Unrecognizable strings or dates containing illegal element values in ISO formatted strings usually return NaN
. However, depending on the implementation, non–conforming ISO format strings, may also throw RangeError: invalid date
, like the following cases in Firefox:
new Date("foo-bar 2014"); new Date("2014-25-23").toISOString(); new Date("foo-bar 2014").toString();
This, however, returns NaN
in Firefox:
Date.parse("foo-bar 2014"); // NaN
For more details, see the Date.parse()
documentation.
new Date("05 October 2011 14:48 UTC"); new Date(1317826080); // Unix Timestamp for 05 October 2011 14:48:00 UTC
