Thank u for this code! Its helps me

Is this really an IE fix? It breaks in IE8 if "date" is a valid date as the first argument, because it will return false for the check for string if (date && typeof(date) === "string") and then go into date = date ? new Date(date) : new Date;. new Date(date) will always return NaN in IE8. So then if (isNaN(date)) throw SyntaxError("invalid date"); will always throw a SyntaxError.

var tabledatestart= (aData[iStartDateCol]).replace(/-/g, '/');
var tabledatestart = (new Date(tabledatestart)).format("mm/dd/yyyy");

Kindly any one help... it works all browser but IE it throws

if (isNaN(date)) throw SyntaxError("invalid date"); will always throw a SyntaxError.
