Hello,
I'm displaying start and end dates in the RangeBar chart.

I'm setting min and max range in the valueAxis as seen here:

valueAxis: {
        min: new Date("2017/04/06 07:00").getTime(),
        max: new Date("2017/04/06 17:00").getTime(),
        majorUnit: 60 * 60 * 1000, // 60 minutes in milliseconds
    labels: {
        template: "#= kendo.toString(new Date(value), 'HH:mm') #"
        }
    },

 

The problem I'm having is getTime() is returning the number of milliseconds since Epoch off by 4 hours.

In the example above, GetTime() returns 1491476400000, or "2017/04/06 11:00" instead of "2017/04/06 07:00"

The label is displaying 07:00.

I'm assuming this is some kind of UTC issue?  I live in the EDT timezone which is UTC-4 hours.
How do I need to do to have getTime() return the proper milliseconds?

Regards,

 

David

Hello David,

I am not sure if I understand correctly the question, but JavaScript dates work with local time only. If you wish to convert the date to UTC then you can use the toUtcTime method. If this is not what you are trying to achieve the please clarify what values should displayed.

Regards,
