hi,

i have a date in this format : dd.mm.yyyy

when i instantiate a javascript date with it, it gives me a NaN

in c# i can specify a dateformat, to say: here you have my string, it's in this format, please make a Datetime of it.

is this possible in javascript too, and if not, is there an easy way?

i would prefer not to use a substring for day, substring for month etc. because my method must also be capable of german, italian, english etc dates.
