The short answer is you can't... I imagine you want something like,

var myDate = new Date()
specialFormat = myDate.mysteriousMissingFunction("yyyy-mm-dd")
 // returns 2008-02-26
 

Some may say the holy grail of javascript is event handling... I disagree, date handling is way harder.... the good news there's lots of people out there with the same or a similar problem.... you can always try google

i dont know about all formats, but this hits a lot of them:

 
function parseDate(s) {
    if (s.match(/^\s?\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}\:\d{2}:\d{2}Z\s?$/g)) {
    }
    var d = new Date();
    try {
        d.setTime(Date.parse(s));
    } catch (t) {
        var td = s.replace(/[-_\\.]/gm, "/").replace(/T!h+/, " ");
        d.setTime(Date.parse(td));
    }
    return d;
}
