Dates displaying in wrong format

[GavinTrowles]

Hi

I have recently had an error come to my attention whereby the dates on my map (that I retrieve from a service) are displaying incorrectly. Instead of showing the date text like "1284378356999" is being displayed to screen.

I have not changed the code for the page but Im unsure if something has changed at the service level (this is maintained by a seperate team). Has any experienced this issue before?

Many thanks

That looks like Unix Time and you can convert it to whatever format you want.

This site explains how to do it in js:

var myDate = new Date( your epoch date *1000);
document.write(myDate.toGMTString()+"<br>"+myDate.toLocaleString());
