Datetime picker different values in ie to firefox

[Craig Broadhead]

Using the datetime picker I am getting a different value back between IE and firefox:

in IE i get Thu Oct 18 10:05:56 UTC+0100 2012
in Firefox i get Thu Oct 18 2012 10:06:26 GMT+0100 (GMT Daylight Time)
Chrome is the same as firefox

I am using the following to get the value:

 var ImpDate = $("#dpimp").data("kendoDateTimePicker").value();

Why is this happening, it is causing me problems on my webservice as i am trying to convert the kendo date into a c# date by doing the following:

  ImpDate = ImpDate.Remove(24);
  DateTime dtImpDate = DateTime.ParseExact(ImpDate, "ddd MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);

And obviously with the IE format being different it fails.

Hi Craig,

Basically the Value method of the DateTimePicker returns JavaScript Date object, which is formatted differently between IE and Firefox. To get the exact same Date format from all browsers you should format the Date before sending it to the controller for example using the toString method of KendoUI Framework:

//Returns date in the exact format from all browsers
kendo.toString($("#datetimepicker").data("kendoDateTimePicker").value(), "ddd MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss")

That sorted it!

Thanks Vladimir.
