Date object

Converting localtime to an object.

Hi, everyone!

Does anyone know how to convert a localtime number (provided by a server) to a date object, or a UTC string if necessary? Thanks in advance!

Pass the timestamp as an argument to Date().

var timestamp = new Date(...);

Uhhh, one problem.

When I try this, it doesn't work. :P

alert(new Date(1140296969))

this should return a time at about today, right? Well, instead, I get some time in 1970. Any idea why?

Oh, forgot ... multiply by 1000 first :)

Unix timestamps are second based. JavaScript timestamps are millisecond based
